TTC caught up with Micle to understand his artistry.

What’s your background like?  

My name is Miracle and I'm 24 years old from Enugu state. I have 3 siblings; a boy and 2 girls. Yeah, I finished my ND level of education as an architect at Ebonyi State before deciding to move into music fully.

Which artists set the path for the kind of artist you want to be?

Kizz Daniel, Justin Bieber, and Billie Eillish  because they create that easy path for my kind of music.

What inspired you to write this song and can you describe the writing process?

Celebrants is dedicated to my fans because of the support I have been receiving from them. Back in the days, when man couldn’t eat or feed himself; I feel without them, there won’t be Micle.  That’s why I call them celebrants cause they deserve to be celebrated and loved.

When I wrote this song I can testify to the fact that I was hungry and broke..cause  “if I tell you matter wey dey for my head you go run jah”. If you listen carefully to the song, I added it to the lyrics cause man has been through a lot.

Can you walk me through the creative process for this song, from the original idea to the final product?

I wanted to express how I was feeling at that moment, then I realised that I have my fans who have been supportive right from the beginning of my hustle, they are the real soldiers here that’s why I carry them along as my disciples.

How does this song relate to your personal experiences or beliefs?

These songs can actually picture my personal struggle and experience I had on stage and in real life cause there’s this part of the song where I said “when I been dey fight for the backstage, nobody dey there” and that’s really true cause I fought and cried to be where I am today, so I have to relate it to this song for people to hear.

How did you feel while working on this song?

I feel so liberated cause I can see the future where it’s leading me to.

Was there a specific moment during the writing or recording process that stood out to you as particularly memorable or significant?

I said “if I tell you matter wey dey for head, you go run jah” is soo memorable cause it's something I can never forget.

Can you tell me about any particular challenges you faced while creating this song and how you overcame them?

Challenges choke but I have to just talk about the most important, which was the hunger strike and brokeness I faced when creating this song but I overcame the challenges with the help and support of my fans. 

What do you hope listeners take away from this song?

Self belief and faith kept me moving when I felt there was no hope any more. So I feel listeners will take the part I didn’t give up easily as their motivation 

How do you see this song fitting into your overall body of work?

I won’t lie to you, this song is everything you can imagine and it’s lyrically strong in describing me and my fans CELEBRANTS.
