What have been some of the challenges for you?
Being versatile is a great challenge because there has to be good delivery no matter how it comes. There is a mood for every song so the artiste has to initiate it

Lol, I did a song with a Chinese rock band in Malaysia and the session was very comical

I move with the ambience, I’m a freestyle artiste so I take the session at its best
