“Since when I was young music has been in me, and also dancing; so I grew up with that feeling to be an artiste… Well, I have some good Gambian friends. They keep telling me, “You Dark-I, you are need to be in Gambia;” that is happening right and many Nigerian artistes do come to Gambia.
So I said, “OK, luckily someone from Gambia, Lamin Jammeh aka Kesla, nice brother wrote to me about it, and I said, “why not. I would love to be in The Gambia,” he said, when asked why he chose to visit The Gambia.
