Tsoako said music was an expression of experiences throughout his life. “I’m constantly reinventing myself and working on other people’s music apart from XMPL.

“I’m currently working on my extended play [EP]. I’m working with artists Uno July, Melo b and a couple of up and coming artists,” he said.
