I'm an Outstanding Nigerian Musician with an unquenchable thirst and inimaginable enthusiasm to Pursue a long life musical career as a Performer and a Teacher. I have remarkably worked hard to get both Academic and Practical knowledge on my chosen field of study, and I have no doubt that this will Propel me into achieving more. In Pursuit of a sound musical career, I Applied for and was awarded a two year Scorlaship to study Music at the Muson school of Music as a Trumpet major under RTD. Major Ernesi Salawu. At the Muson school of Music, discipline and hardwork are a must have to be a Great Musician.
