He noted that he still sees himself as his 10-year-old self because it’s still the same passion that drives him after all these years.
Nigerian producer and singer, Phillip Kayode Moses, professionally known as Pheelz, has stated that despite his interest in secular music, he still considers himself to be a church boy.
The Finesse crooner, who was brought up in the Lagos church headed by his father, a pastor, and learned to sing and play the piano as well as other instruments, said he always knew he would transition from producer to musician.
The legendary producer stated in a recent interview with MTV Base Africa that he was surprised when his hit song Finesse became popular on Tik Tok.
Speaking about his journey as a creative, the 29-year-old said,
“That journey is long, bro. I feel like sometime in my life, I would probably make movie out of all these stories because it’s inspirational to me and I think it can be inspirational to a lot of other people.
Grinding from Coded Tunez down to running YBNL; making music with Olamide, Fireboy, Adekunle Gold, Lil Kesh, and other artists outside the label… First of all, I wouldn’t change anything for anything because the journey has been beautiful both the ups and the downs.
But I still see myself as that same kid from my church. That same 10-year-old playing the keys and my dad is doing the sermons. I still see myself as that kid in the choir because it’s still the same passion that drives me and has been driving me all these years.”
