I was trying to find myself so I decided to change it to just MAyZ because it says a lot about my personalities and craft. “I did not start from the church as most artists do, but I have a love for the sound of musical instruments. I discovered my talent in the university, I participated in a couple of singing competitions and always won. I decided to take music seriously and recorded my first single ‘ILEKE’ produced by Que Beatz in 2015. People loved it and I got the drive to keep recording other songs like GBE BODY produced by Irock and I Don’t Care produced by Craker Mallo ” he said

In the next five years, my music would have been recognized all over the world spreading positivity and changing the world,” he said
