I have passion for drawing, painting, theatre arts and I'm using music to spread the message of a sustainable future and to empower the younger generation through learning and reviving of declining traditional music and instruments, as a result of violence/insurgency in North-Eastern Nigeria. I am starting a community music studio where children and youths can learn, record, and produce traditional/indigenous music. This would empower the younger generation and provide a space for their voices to be heard, alongside self-development.
