I’m always humble. It’s good to stay grounded. 

What do you find guys compliment on you the most, physically?

I’d say my eyes. Respectfully, sort of a Asian design/feel to it.

What, to you, defines sexy in another man?

Confidence over cockiness, great sense of humor and a decent body.

What is your proudest moment so far in your life in being an openly gay man?

I’d say coming out really. My background as Nigerian doesn’t make it easy to be openly gay, so accepting and overcoming my fear of rejection and coming out to my family will always be my proudest moment regardless of anything I achieve.

I have a passion for music, I’m currently in and out of studios trying to finish my music and introduce the world to what goes on inside my head in the form of that.

Have you found love? If so what is the best part of your relationship and what do you love most in your partner(s)?

I have, but its complicated and doesn’t always work out. For me the most importantly thing is appreciating the feeling of having loved and being loved back.
