Chukwuka Ekweani, popularly known as CKay, has shared that love plays a central role in his life. Despite not seeing himself as a typical romantic, the 29-year-old artist acknowledges his deep connection to emotions.
Having achieved remarkable success since rising to fame, CKay remains introspective about his feelings and the influence of love on his artistry.
“I don’t know about [being a] big romantic guy but I’m someone who is very in touch with my feelings and my emotions. I think love is an amazing thing – a crazy thing, but amazing nonetheless – and this is one of the predominant themes of my life, so it’s just natural that my music talks a lot about this.”
Reflecting on his debut album, Sad Romance, released on September 23, 2022, CKay shared insights into its emotional depth and significance.
“Music is the art form, which is my primary form of self-expression. I like to put myself into my music. There were a lot of sad situations, a lot of happy situations, and a lot of very diverse situations I was in. I captured all those in that album.”
In 2023, CKay dropped the deluxe edition of Sad Romance, followed by Emotions in 2024.
