experience with music for the first time like?
  ADOKIYE: My first encounter with music back in the days was thrilling as

growing up I loved songs by Onyeka Onwenu, Aretha Franklin, King Sunny
Ade, Lauryn Hill and Bob Marley. I used to sing along to their songs
even though I didn't really know the lyrics but I kept on singing along
till I got to know them well. And before I knew it my love for music
was unfolding and I found myself writing my own songs.

G.O.A.S.T:  As a child growing up, music surrounds us; what type of
music did you hear the most back then?
  ADOKIYE:  I loved songs by Onyeka Onwenu, Aretha Franklin, King Sunny Ade,

used to hear growing up. But I'd say we are coming up to that level of
the legends of the old.... the likes of Tuface Idibia, Femi Kuti and

there in a matter of time.

growing up. For me I felt it's something one can start when the time
is right.

do you cope with major obstacles?
  ADOKIYE: God has been my strength, and will continue to be.

G.O.A.S.T:  Do you feel the economic crunch has hurt the industry,
or do you have some other promotional tips to help support your music?
  ADOKIYE: Well I feel the government needs to invest more in the music
industry as most of our artistes are now of international repute
thereby bringing in more revenue to the economy of the country as a
whole. This would help boost the industry and create an enabling
environment to help assist some artistes who may not have the funds to
furnish the requirements of their careers.

G.O.A.S.T: Brilliant! So, If you had the opportunity to change something about
the music industry what would it be?
ADOKIYE: The distribution channels and the rate of piracy which are major problems in the music industry.

G.O.A.S.T:  Who is your fan?  Do you have a fan club or street team?
