Spyro says he knows exactly why he didn’t succeed sooner in the music industry - it is because he was going from place to place, church to church, desperately looking for a solution.

Until one day he decided to stop, stand still and actually trust the God he was serving. He says the reason he takes God so seriously and speaks about God all the time is because he went to God - desperate, at the end of his rope - and, guided by his pastor - everything suddenly began to change.

13 years after he started, and he is officially a star. How did he go from being ignored by so many stars who he asked for help and being sidelined by so many to becoming a multiple award-winning artiste with several viral hits?

And how exactly does he feel about the narrative that he is self-righteous and condemns fellow artistes while making money from the same Afrobeats? In between questions about sex before marriage, running away from his pastor dad, and plenty more.

The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but - with Spyro today.

#WithChude is a special series of targeted multimedia (video, audio, text, event) conversations and investigations that leverage the voice, network and passion of its host, Chude Jideonwo and his interviews, to underline issues, raise consciousness and spark movements; especially in Africa and for Africans.

#WithChude has been revolutionary at the forefront of issues around sexual abuse, depression, HIV/AIDs, diversity, shame amongst others, and continues to break new ground – holding space, sharing grace, and calling in.

Focused on narratives that enable and strengthen the mind (mental health), heart (emotional health) and spirit (spiritual health), its themes center on empathy, compassion, mindfulness, wellness, happiness, love, joy and food for the soul.

Beyond inspiration, beyond motivation, this is about connection.
