Skales childhood in Kaduna
He shares that his mum taught in a school. Money was short, so life stayed very lean. He lived in a hut with his late mum. Later, they moved into a small boys’ quarters.
Sleep came on mats spread on a bare floor. He says his mum would lay a wrapper too. The house had no TV or fancy gear. Joy came from grit, love, and small wins.
The singer calls the journey wild, almost unreal. He says the change from that life feels crazy. Yet he stays calm, focused, and thankful. The past keeps him firm in each new step.
Last month, he made a Shiloh prayer claim about “Shake Body”. He linked the viral spark to a faith note.
