Yeah, so like, in 2015, I went to Caliphia on the coast. I went to Akidogo, I went to Nairobi, and I was like, let me make music and come back. It was a fun, it was amazing. So I said, I'll decide whether I want to queen or not because I don't know how to make music. So I'm like sharpie, so far. I want to queen. Then I watched the songs of Papa Wemba and Willo Longomba. Like, I want to dance. Then I want to dance. So I'm like, oh, let me be an entertainer. So I'm like, if I want to come, I'll be an entertainer too bad. So far, how is it going? So far, I'm like, I can't dance. Do you feel like you are part of the process of trying to do music? I think in the studio, maybe, I feel like I can do music in a party. I can go to a program. I can be a producer, and I can be doing music for fun. Videos, I can shoot. So, um, it's a challenge to sort of go through what do you think is the one solution to it? Okay. So, um, do you think it's the one solution to it? In terms of management, am I going to sign or something like that? Right. So, you talked about an album. Yeah. And, um, it's one of the songs when you look at it, it's an album that you're preparing. Yeah. So, it's about the album, how many tracks you have, and your inspiration. Yeah. Yeah. Most of the things that you're doing for the album. Okay. So, like, my album is called Vigiana Vallejo. Yeah. It's got 16 tracks, Danny. Mm-hmm.

My experience maybe, I'm a talkie fan, I'm a talkie fan, I don't find my life to change. I'm thankful to God. I want to be a bit about you or part of your life. How everything changed? It's because my mother and dad they were shocked. I didn't know that they would come and see me like this. I was very proud of myself. But when I was adopted, I was my family friend. So I grew up. So right now, my family is big up, big up. Big up Abila. Big up everybody. Whenever you are. I don't know what to say. They are the same thing. Do you have any words for a young boy who is struggling to live the life that we lived at that time? Yes. When I was a kid, when I was a kid, I used to go to school and go to school.

So I think that if you want to help, if you have a job, you can do it. If you want to help, you can do it. If you want to help, you can do it. You can do it. Yeah. Like, for example, I was born with a Z-shaped head. I was born with a Z-shaped head. That's why I love music. Yes. So I think that if you want to help, you can do it. I think that music is a competition, but when you are working on music, you will not be able to say, oh, I will tell you, you will tell me. So I think that if you want to help, you can do it. But if you want to help, you can do it. Okay. So the point is, if you want to help, and everything goes well for you, do you want to help? I am trying to help. You are trying to help.
