Mr P interview

1. His debut album title, The Prodigal, was inspired by people likening him to the prodigal son. But for him, his use of the label is to redefine it to mean someone who is independent and successful. 

2. He has a certificate in music and is a multi-instrumentalist who according to him, can play virtually any instrument. For him, his album is his way of making it known that he is more than a dancer.

3. His album release got delayed thrice due to him and his family being infected with Covid-19, the #ENDSars protests and DJ Switch’s involvement with the movement and resultant exile, and then the death of his father-in-law.

4. He worked with DJ Switch while creating his album and said she was his biggest critic. He also mentioned that he believed she wasn’t being duly celebrated for her actions and sacrifice during the #ENDSars protests.

5. He made I Love You with Tamar Braxton, Simi and Teni after Tamar came visiting Nigeria while filming for her reality TV show, The Braxtons. According to him, Tamar made it known that she wanted to meet Teni and Simi so Peter had orchestrated the meeting over dinner and they’d all naturally started to make music with him playing the keyboard as well as the guitar. They’d eventually headed to his studio to produce it and he has now released it on his album two years after. 

6. He didn’t release music for a year due to comparison and competition which he stated that he hates.
