Pulse: When did you start making music?

Prime: I’ve been making music ever since I was little. I used to play instruments in the church choir.

Pulse: When did you realize music could be a viable music career for you?

Prime: After I got paid for my first production, I was always going to do music one way or the other, from my childhood days.

Pulse: The career of a lot of music producers can be short-lived, how do you plan to abridge that?

Prime: I’m versatile and always in search of new sounds, as long as I have the potential to evolve as music evolves, I’m here to stay.

Pulse: Your sound is very afro-pop, but what you did on Gbasky’s ‘Black Frequency’ suggests a wider range. What is your sound?

Prime: I’m versatile and an explorer. Also, my brother (Adeleke) always tells me “when experimenting, if what you’re trying to fuse in is good/sounds sweet, no matter genre or how weird it sounds, it will always be accepted.”

Pulse: How did you meet Zlatan, Fireboy and Gbasky?

Prime: My manager (The Cake) linked me up with Zlatan after I told her I had a fire beat for him. Fireboy – We met at a session. After the session, he told me he loved the way I work and would love us to keep working. Gbasky – We are under the same management, so you know the rest…

Pulse: Hardest song you’ve ever had to produce?

Prime: None yet. I’m open to challenges.

Pulse: Would you ever make music as P-Priime the artist?

Prime: It’s very important. I’m influenced by my environment, mood etc

Pulse: Do you get paid for your work?

Prime: Haq Haq Haq Haq. What do you think? For sure! Thanks to my manager for always making sure I do.
