Phillip Kayode Moses, a Nigerian producer and singer professionally known as Pheelz, has affirmed that even though he is drawn to secular music, he still regards himself as a church boy.

Raised in the church under the leadership of his father, a pastor in Lagos, he acquired his musical skills, including singing and playing various instruments like the piano.

Pheelz expressed his longstanding aspiration to shift from being solely a producer to becoming a musician. In a recent interview with MTV Base Africa, the acclaimed producer expressed his astonishment at the unexpected popularity of his hit track, "Finesse," on TikTok.

Speaking about his journey as a creative, the 29-year-old said,

“That journey is long, bro. I feel like sometime in my life, I would probably make a movie out of all these stories because it’s inspirational to me and I think it can be inspirational to a lot of other people.

Grinding from Coded Tunez down to running YBNL; making music with Olamide, Fireboy, Adekunle Gold, Lil Kesh, and other artists outside the label… First of all, I wouldn’t change anything for anything because the journey has been beautiful both the ups and the downs.

But I still see myself as that same kid from my church. That same 10-year-old playing the keys and my dad is doing the sermons. I still see myself as that kid in the choir because it’s still the same passion that drives me and has been driving me all these years.”

Nice

Really?.
Indeed.
