Q: Are you working on another album ?
A: The new album is cooking.
Q: Would you love to share your experiences staging musical shows abroad ?
A: Staging shows abroad is another experience that comes with extra hardwork and homework,in the sense that most of the people abroad want music that is original and something that the've not heard for a long time and not the so called (alujo)that's rated as a wishy-washy trending music that cannot stand the test of time and due to the originality that forms our brand of music. My own style of music has continued to endeared more fans to me and the Royal fans- base continue to increase both abroad and in Nigeria.
Q: What is music to you ?
A: Music to me is life,because it refreshes my body,soul and spirit every single day,it's the tonic that makes me shine all the time

A: My brand of music is what I call "Royal Music", that is also classified as Miliki music.
Q: Who are your biggest fans ,home and abroad ?

Without mincing words, I draw a lot of inspirations from the little kids as well.
Q: What is your assessment of the nation's music industry ?.
A: The Nigerian music industry is doing well and fast growing, however, the government of the land should continue to let us the music practitioners have a level playing ground in terms of having access to soft loans with little or no interest. Parts of the challenges are lack of funding which is affecting our productions, having personal musical equipments,recording studios and many other ones too numerous to mention.
Q: Let us have an idea about your foray into the music industry ?
A: My foray into music is God's ordained from my
childhood and i believe it's my destiny .
Q: What is your advice for the youths ?
A: The youths should desist from any form of known or unknown vices which will make them end up in jail and get engaged with something productive that can put foods on their table without loosing their integrity and protect the good names of their parents, like the title of my latest album, "Iberu Oluwa"meaning the fear of God Is the beginning Of Wisdom.

Q: What is your final take ?
A: At this juncture, it is necessary to acknowledge someone who played a significant role in my life journey. He is "Paul Tao Elshadai a.k.a (tespee) My musical career will be incomplete if I fail to appreciate him. He worked for Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi for more than thirty years as a producer and guitarist He discovered me as a young drummer here in Abeokuta; he saw the future in me and decided to invite me to Lagos and through him I became a refined musician till today. To God be the glory,all I can wish him is a long time to be able to eat the fruits of his labour IJN,Amen.
