The Journey to the Video

“My video went viral and received a lot of good comment from my friends who kept telling me that this is time and so at a point, I prayed and even made a promise to God to walk a different way if am selected, ” he said.
The freestyle video happened to be one of the few videos from the challenge that got the attention of the “Black is King” album composer and found its way on her story on Instagram.
Eventually, he and the DWP Academy were selected and the rest has been history since.
