The thought of becoming a pilot came to mind when he was a kid. 'I was inspired by a movie I watched about pilots flying planes and ever since developed interest in becoming a pilot in order to fly planes'.

My thought of becoming a pilot changed when I failed Add maths in secondary school at Adisadel College and then decided to move into music full time. Before then, he sung at parties and performed at different places when he was young.

One Love became famous by his unique way of dressing and also his way of music. He raps in different languages both local and foreign which are all in pidgin.

Come 30th August, One Love will be performing at the UK with some other musicians. He recently came out with an album titled Green Card with some of his hit tracks as Chinese Kokonte, Kokonsa, Asem, We and Never Die.

Music helps me express myself, says One Love. One Love is married with a son in the U.S.A.
