The singer claimed that his father’s early exposure to music sparked his passion in singing and his love of all things related to dance.
The 24-year-old continued, “At first, I was a dancer, but I added singing because dancing couldn’t pay enough.”
He said, “My parents used to play me a lot of classical Songs. They love listening to songs. The kind of father I have is the one that will wake up in the morning and have one cigarette then loud music.
“At the end of the day, I feel like I can actually sing. Then I added music to it. Maybe because I know how to dance then I know how to bounce on music.
