The Creek and the Cave Backyard

150 songs. One every Friday. I'm the product of a Devil and an Angel. Born in Nigeria, raised in America. My first memory was light—the glow of the world outside the airplane window. But life introduced me to darkness early. My father was violent, feared, and cruel—a man who beat my mother bloody, even as she raised six kids alone. My mother was a warrior, a saint, and a survivor—beating cancer five times, carrying the weight of two schizophrenic sons, and still holding everything together. I grew up between two extremes— A sweet, innocent kid who loved everyone. A street kid who learned to fight, sell drugs, and survive. I’ve been a nerd and an outcast. A gang member and a fighter. A drug dealer and a straight-A student. A broke felon and a six-figure software engineer. A sound engineer and a real estate mogul. A lost soul and a devoted father. Somewhere between light and darkness. Somewhere between wisdom and ignorance. If God and the Devil stopped fighting, it’s because they shook hands on me. 🎵 150 songs. One every Friday. Follow now and watch the story unfold.
