She may be fairly new to performing, but Chika always knew she wanted to be an artist, and she has been creating and writing lyrics since childhood. She penned her first song at the age of nine, which she called "On My Own."
"I was writing a song about wanting to pursue music and if no one was supporting me, I would do it 'on my own,'" she told Business of Fashion in October 2019. "So, I ended up writing songs all the time. Eventually did some poetry to get my angst out. And then I wanted to incorporate my poetry into my songwriting. I secretly rapped for years. I wrote rap verses but no one knew."
