Fricker Gives Reason For Long Absence In Music Industry, Set To Drop New Song

What have you been up to since you relocated to the United States?

Well, I didn’t relocate to the United States with a lot of money. So I went straight to work outside the music industry doing CNC when I first got here. Hustling for paychecks.

I worked hard every day with the favor of God and my woman Just to survive. So I would say I’ve been working in silence and hustling.

How much have you been able to settle and start thinking of coming back to do your passion?

Settle ?? Not as much as I want, I’ve just been thinking most of the time about doing my passion, now that all the bills are getting paid with no stress I think this is the right time.

How has your music changed or evolved since your relocation?
My music hasn’t changed that much. It’s still a fusion of Raggae, Street-hop, and Afrobeats except for maybe a little rap influence in my sound.

Rap is big in America and especially in the hip hop community in Georgia, the state where I live.

What should we be expecting from you now that you are fully back to the scene?

A lot of positive and sweet vibes, good music, dope visuals, modeling, acting, and all-around entertainment.

My new single ‘Let Me Know’ produced by Puffy Tee is out on all digital platforms worldwide. Make sure you guys check it out.

Any tour or show coming up?
I have some shows and party tours coming up in Atlanta Georgia, Miami Florida, California, Louisiana, and Texas after Covid-19. You guys should be on the lookout for dates.

How is your acting career coming and how was your experience in the last Funke Akindele  Project? 

Well, I’ve not been doing much, but I’ve been planning my come back with an upcoming show series ‘Lagos to Atlanta’.

Who would you like to collaborate with in the international music scene? 

Well, I’m here now and about to be officially back in the music scene fully.
I would love to work with any international or a-list artiste that’s feeling my vibe.
