According to him, there is something for every music lover, irrespective of their genre leaning.

“I am very excited to unleash this to the world. It has been a long time coming. My goal is to make sure there is at least one song everyone can relate to. In putting this project together, I pushed myself to break limits because the satisfaction of my listeners is important to me,” he said.

As an entertainer, Dice’s passion for music was first nurtured at age five when he learnt to play the violin as one of the first of four instruments he learned growing up. In his later years, Dice had begun recording music with his voice first in 2017 but didn’t release his debut single ‘Clinical’ till 2020.

Prior to this time, Dice has released a couple of singles including ‘I Want’, ‘Kilode’, ‘Lord Forgive Me’ and ‘Prodigal’. In 2021, he released ‘Clinical’,

‘Delirious’, ‘Diamond Dial’, ‘Teasing’, ‘OUU’ (She Leanin’), as well as

‘Status Change’, garnering hundreds of thousands of streams across digital platforms.

He has gone on to develop his trap/wave sound with a few more singles.

NEW JOY etcetera, and you kept flying.
