Music Career: From Portharcourt to Stardom

Cupid grew up in Port Harcourt, where he had the freedom to explore his love for music. He discovered his passion at 14, spending hours listening to different sounds and experimenting with his own voice.

By the time he turned 17, he had already made up his mind to dedicate himself fully to music.

His interest in trap music started unexpectedly. One random day at home, he stumbled upon a Juice WRLD music video and he knew he wanted to create music like that.

When he shared this with his father, his dad gave him advice that shaped his early career: he suggested starting with Afrobeats and building a local fanbase first, before aiming for an international audience.

Following this guidance, Cupid began recording afrobeats lyrics over trap beats he found on YouTube.

He shared his freestyles with friends, posted videos online, and experimented with different flows and styles to find his sound. He used every opportunity to practice and improve, until he started getting noticed.

By 2023, he was posting freestyles almost every day. These consistent steps helped him slowly build an online audience. Then, in 2024, on his 20th birthday, he released his first official song. He chose that day as a personal milestone to track his growth and commitment.
