Please Introduce yourself?
My names are Omobosola Karimat Alaka. a 17 years old student of University of Benin from Oyo state, Nigeria.
How and when did you start music?
I started music at age 12, began by writing songs constantly then later ventured into learning how to play the guitar which helped me developed my own sound till I recorded my first track.
What exactly did u do to get this amount of recognition?
Like I said earlier I play the guitar, It gave me capability to go from auditions to shows, I later recorded my first track then I pushed it online which eventually gave me some recognition in the music scene.
Can u tell us briefly about your new song Without You?
Without you is a love song about a young girl that is deeply in love with a particular guy that doesn't understand the extent of her feelings. This is a situation that happen daily in the world we live between a boy and a girl.Without you is a song that helps a lover express his or her feelings..

Ob9ja is my big bro and manager.. he is professionally involved with my career and he has been a great manager. Am really looking forward to what we will achieve together.
Where do u see yourself and music in 5years?
By Gods grace I believe Okal as a brand should be an A-list artist in the music industry.
What advise do you have for aspiring music artists who've not had the courage to start music?
I think music is not meant for everybody so as an aspiring artist you have to be courageous enough to discover your sound.
