When asked to list the artistes that inspired his music, he says, ‘There’s a lot of them honestly. I probably won’t be able to list them all’.
Speaking on this EP he says; “I titled this ep ‘in the meantime’ because I didn’t plan on dropping an EP, my plans were to keep dropping singles till my first album. All songs on the EP were recorded at the same time period last year. Listening to the songs I created during that time period again, it just felt cohesive and at that point My team & I felt we could make do with these, and arrange them into an EP in the meantime. So that’s how the name was gotten”
