And am 20 years old
 
JT: How long have you been doing music?
 
Ecezz Mdt: A year and 9 month
 
 
JT: What has the experience been like?
Ecezz Mdt: Well
It's always up and down but its good
I really enjoy singing and all that about music
Is always hard to please people,
Have learnt am not just singing to please myself but the world
Which makes it hard tho
 
 
 
JT: Wow, the journey just got started.. Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years in the music industry
 
Ecezz Mdt: I see myself among the top 3 best
Am sure I will get the Grammys
Tho my music is not what everyone loveS generally now
But am certain by next year I will improve to everyone's taste
Am working hard to get to the top
 
JT: Recently there's been a name change... What brought about that
 
 
 
Ecezz Mdt: My management saw the need for a rebrand and sold the ideal to me, It was appealing so am super excited about what not just the name but the music that will come with it
 
 
JT: Music has a lot of competition.. What makes your sound unique, what stands you out
 
 
Ecezz Mdt: My love for rock music
Tho most Nigerians don't like it
All my life, I always listened to Rock
So when I started singing
I was now singing Rock
But my producer helped me come in terms with singing more like Nigerians
Due to the effort of trying to change my style of music
It's now what you all listen
But with time
I will sing my style of music, which is rock
I also have role models like Micheal Jackson and owl city
I learnt how to make good lyrics from owl city
JT: That's amazing!!
What are the challenges you have faced since u started doing music
Ecezz Mdt: Criticisms !!
Music has made me strong
I now believe no one can hurt my feelings
My first song was all about criticisms
Only my family and few friends said is good
I almost gave up
But I didn't because my dad asked me to sing more

Another one is making good music
This is hardest challenge for me
Flavour once told me
I can go to the top with one track, but I need more than 20 tracks to stay on top
Getting to the top is hard for me and staying will be hard too
 
JT: Talking about motivation.
What motivates you and do you have senior colleagues in the music industry you look up to
 
 
 
Ecezz Mdt: I love singing like this is my life mehn
It helps me overcome hard times
 
Is the one thing that makes me happy
And the only thing my parents allowed me to do and support me
 
JT: So,

 
Ecezz Mdt:Cuts in..... My parents motivate me
 
Ecezz Mdt:They are successful and I don't want them to think I failed, I don't want failure
So I have to do anything to make sure am on the top
I look up to Wizkid, Fireboy, Davido and Naira Marley
 
 
JT: Awesome!!
So amongst the few artists you mentioned above, if you are to be on a record with one of them, who would you feature
 
 
Ecezz Mdt: Wizkid, We all known what and where he is taking African sound to
 
He has the unique way he places words that makes his songs amazing,
Fireboy too has the uniqueness

Ecezz Mdt: As earlier mentions, My family have supported with all there heart
With everything they have including financial help
 
JT: That is rare, but I see the energy you put into your music.. Would you say, music motivates you in life?
 
 
Ecezz Mdt: It does
It's a means of expressing myself
Things I couldn't say
Cause I have no one to talk to
I use them as lyrics
Music is life to me
