environment i’m in, and you may find this weird but sometimes i get inspired while eating suya. (laughs) Actually
right from when my songs started making waves around the northern region of the country, Kaduna State to begin with. I remember the day I received a call from a fan of mine all
the way from Sokoto. And he emphasized that all he wants
is more of K Bash’s songs. He told me how the people of Sokoto appreciate my song ‘Bulala’. That was the first call i received from a fan. And ever since, i kept on receiving calls from different sides of the country from fans of my music.
Ceo: How would you describe the entertainment industry in Kaduna? How important is it in terms of your
music?
