“I became a studio rat at 14. Wizkid and I would go to studios in Ojuelegba together. We’d watch and learn from veteran musicians and producers. Later, I became friends with Wizkid and Ice Prince, and we’d go to studios together. We didn’t record, we just watched and got inspired”, Mocheddah shared.

The female rapper also shared that her parents were concerned about her pursuing a career in music but eventually became supportive.
She noted that her mother played a key role in ensuring her safety by frequently escorting her to the studio and setting a strict curfew.
In her words, “My mom would take me to studios and I had a curfew.”
