In a chat with BEATWAVES, the fashion designer-cum-musician noted, “I love music; it has been part of me since I was born and I want to be in it for the rest of my life. I want my presence in the music industry to be recognized and also want my music to rub shoulders with those on the international music scene”.

Osboy who is in the country to outdoor his maiden album hinted that he has finished work on the album, ‘Ategya,’ which will be released very soon onto the music market.
