EKENE grew up in Lagos on gospel music and choir, moved through rap groups and poetry, and started sharing songs on Instagram because they needed somewhere to go. His debut EP Little Us is seven songs of genuinely honest writing, and this conversation catches him right at the start, which is the most interesting place to have it. He gets specific on why he measures progress by knowing his fans' names rather than his stream count, why honesty is the only growth strategy he trusts, and how he stays stubborn about his vision without shutting out good advice. He's also open about the vulnerable songs he hasn't released yet and why. If you're early in your own journey and building something real from nothing, this one's for you.
