”But I have it in me. So, at some point, I discovered the sweetness of the cultural side. And I decided how can I add the pop I’m doing into the culture and take it global. So, it has been a process, I did a couple of cultural songs, cultural praise then I found myself here.”
Kcee said many doubted him initially when he switched to the cultural genre but he is excited it turned out to be successful.
