My family lived in one room with 9 people – Singer Crayon
Mavin Records artist Crayon has shared that his debut album, ‘Trench To Triumph,’ is a reflection of his real-life experiences.
Crayon revealed that his mother earned a living by selling fruits in Orile, Lagos State, and that they lived in a densely populated apartment with nine people sharing a single room.
The 23-year-old artist explained that ‘Trench To Triumph‘ narrates his journey from living in challenging conditions in the ghetto with his family to achieving success and getting signed by music executive Don Jazzy.
In a recent interview with Glitch Africa, the ‘Ngozi‘ crooner expressed his happiness about life, emphasizing that everything is now good and amazing for him. The album serves as a testament to his personal growth and journey from humble beginnings to musical success.
Crayon said, “Trench To Triumph album is my story. It’s my reality. It’s my substance. It’s everything I am today. From where I came from; being born in Orile, staying in a face-me-I-face-you apartment with nine people in a room. You open your door, you see people fighting.
“My mum used to sell fruits at Iyana-Iba for 19 straight years. It [‘Trench To Triumph’] is my story. It’s my substance. It’s my reality. It’s everything to me. Now, I’m in my triumphant era. I’m happy about life. Life is going good. Everything is amazing.”
