I’ve worked with a lot of artistes, but, that collaboration actually made a lot of parents see the need to bring their children to enroll in my school. I had a lot of people reaching out to me because they saw that I was in the video, and had it not been Shatta Wale’s influence, I wouldn’t have had that opportunity.” the choreographer revealed.
