The people who look up to you or are interested in your life are always looking for clues to get a glimpse of something you might or might not be hiding. The most fundamental yet vital question that Anthony Oreoluwa was put face to face with from time to time is “Who inspired you to become a musician?”, “Who do you owe your success to?”, “What makes you what you are now?”. One could answer these puzzles by simple statements that may sound satisfactory to the audience, but they may not be true. One could make up an interesting history of what he saw and about his life. However, it would be better to go back in time and describe a story that is close to his heart. This story involves ups and downs with happiness and pain.
