Snoweezy talked about his life growing up, and how much he has done for himself in getting an education.

He said:

"I grew up in Sagamu, in a family of seven. My father is a teacher while my mum is a hairdresser. I also have a twin brother who accommodates me under his record label and also serves as my Chief Executive Officer."

"I started my Primary school at Advanced Breed College Sagamu before proceeding to Mayflower Secondary School in Ikenne and then later to Ikenne Community High School. I hold a National Diploma certificate from the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro. And I'm currently in my final year in pursuit of a B.Sc certificate in ESAE University in Cotonou."

On how he found himself doing music, Snoweezy revealed that he has always loved music as a child, and he started his journey from secondary school after he performed at a valedictory service.

In his words:

"I have always loved music from childhood. I love sound and growing up, I was always buying musical records with my pocket money. Music, for me, started from within. It is more of a passion."

"It started from my secondary school days when I got the opportunity of performing at a Valedictory Service. I got accolades from the audience and I was motivated to go into the studio. Within that period and now, I have gained more fans with close to 17,000 followers on Instagram and other social media platforms alike."

The singer's role models in the industry are Olamide, Wizkid and Brymo and he is looking forward to meeting them someday.

On how he came about his nickname, he had this to say:

"Growing up, I liked the color white and it sort of reflected on my dressing so I got the name Snow T until a brother of mine added ‘Weezy,' which was probably because my voice seems similar to that of Wizkid."

Snoweezy has released a couple of albums, with his recent titled Imperfection and he has been privileged to work with well-known artists like BellaShmuda, Mubad and the likes.

On how he has been coping with the business aspect of music and meeting financial challenges, the young man said:

"The business aspect has not been rosy. I’ve had a couple of financial glitches with representatives of some artists I have collaborated with. It’s a challenge but I am learning from it."

"When I started music, I didn't know music requires a lot of money. When it dawned on me, I had to engage in many manual works. I once worked at a bakery after which I moved on to a fish pond. I also taught at a school until I gained admission and some of my friends started showing me love financially."

Snoweezy also revealed that if he wasn't doing music, he would still be in the entertainment industry, probably along the line of tourism.
