Ikechukwu Okoronkwo aka Acebergtm has shared his grass to grace story. The rising singer who is the second child in a family of 5 children revealed to Legit.ng that music kept him safe from a childhood fraught with the usual youthful exuberances.

“Growing up as a kid, music turned out to be my only escape from peer pressure and other vices which kids my age were involved in such as smoking and street fighting.

I got a strong sense of peace and satisfaction every time I heard my favorite songs growing up. My interest grew even more as I got older, I wanted to write, sing, rap, perform just like my favorite artists I saw on tv." He said.
