Hey guys hope you're good. So here's my first real scoop with segment featuring uprising Afrobeats artist- Sona.
This is actually a throwback, the video once appeared on my YouTube channel but was taken down as I did not like the quality.
Thought I'd post the content on here for memories☺️. Enjoy..
After hit singles 'wa ba mi Jo' and 'summertime' I was very curious to how Sona was taking on his new found fame.
Mo_chunkaay: Hi guys welcome to the show, we have your new favourite Afrobeats artist with us today
Sona: 'oh yeah' ๐
Mo_chunkaay: 'so firstly can you tell us a little bit about yourself.. Were you brought up in this country?'
Sona: 'yeah'
Mo: oh wow so where did the love for Afrobeats come from?
Sona: well obviously, I'm African *insert smile here*, so I try to keep in touch with my roots; it went hand in hand, tied in with Afrobeats.
Mo: oh okay, so when did you realise you actually wanted to do music
Sona: well I recorded my freestyle 'shola' last year.. And people heard it
Mo:... Oh yeah I saw that on YouTube
Sona: yeah it kind of went from there really
Mo: I see, so you weren't really planning to do it but it kind of took off itself .. That's good !
... Do you mind me asking how old you are now?
Sona: 23
Mo: so you've been doing this for 1/2 years?
Sona: bout a year now
Mo: would you say you're fluent in Yoruba
Sona: yeah
Mo: can you say something for us?
Sona: 'Ki lo fe gbo'
Mo: *repeats smiling*
Sona: Means what dyou wanna hear lol
Mo: anything ๐
Sona: 'Bawoni ooo, Sona loruko mi oo, Mo hope pe e wa okay ooo' (sup guys my name is Sona, hope you're okay ooo)
Mo: lol see you've got a bit of the accent, I don't have that even though I wasn't born here ๐
...how would you describe your sound so far
Sona: at first I wasn't confident in my sound , but now I mix it really it depends, I have a lot of songs coming out soon so you'll see !
Mo: so you dropped now wahala video three months ago and then ijo Sona two months ago which I am in love with!
Sona: rah three months now
Mo: yeah, I must have been browsing through sound cloud, found it and thought who's this guy..?
Sona: *cheeky smile*
Mo: so where did the inspiration for the ijo Sona video come from?
Sona: Urm, the directors just brought the idea and I liked it
Mo: hall party tings yeah!
Sona: lool yeahh
Mo: was your mum in the video by any chance
Sona: nah everyone thought that but I didn't wanna put my mum out there like that lol
Mo: fair enough.. If you were to compare yourself to any Afro beats artist.. Who would it be?
Sona: hmm, I'd say davido but wiz (wizkid) inspires me cause he just drops hit after hit after hit, can't say I've heard one song of his I don't like.. Except one
Mo: who would you like to collab with ?
Sona: davido and wizkid, they're the main ones! Burna boy would be amazing aswell
Mo: I know you performed at wande coals concert.. What songs did you perform I didn't recognise all of them
Sona: 'Roramase and sola remix'
Mo: and how do you prepare yourself for big performances?
Sona: I just go there and think 'I need to own this' so when I touch the stage I need to leave my mark
Mo: so is there an album out
Sona: very soon but I don't wanna talk to much lol
Mo: so... Let's talk about the ladies

Mo: do you have a girl friend ?
Sona: *points to sky suggesting it's all about God*
Mo: hmm so is that a yes or no
So what's the female attention like at shows ?
Sona: it's not what everyone thinks it is you know lol it's calm
Mo: oh please I've been on your insta , I've seen a few comments
