She has her record company called JPM Music registered in 2019 in which she worked on two songs. Namely: The Light and Angels' Play.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, she asked Facebook friends if she should write a song on Facebook and got positive responses. So on Saturday 25th April 2020 at 6pm the song writing began on same social network. She wrote the first line and tagged Paul Play Dairo who wrote the next line in the comment section, the second post had her line and Paul's line then AJ was tagged and he replied with his line as well and that's how it kept growing till they had the entire song written on Facebook. They sent voice notes to each other for guidance so the song would have a good tune.
When it was written, they moved a step higher.
Due to the lockdown they put together all the Artiste's voicenotes recorded from home in Nigeria and the US and some from the studio then forwarded to our producer @dr_benstein(based in London). It took an entire month to write, collect recordings, arrange and mix the song but she did it.
On this song she succeeded in proving to everyone that we are one people regardless of our background. There are Rappers, inspirational Singers, love song Writers and singers, gospel Artistes, a Muslim, a Nurse and a Doctor both saving lives in American hospitals.
The song featired Nigeria's finest artistes (by instagram handles):
