“I felt I should appreciate and assure my woman that I am grateful she chose me and I won’t let her down,” Sunrok confessed. “It’s a special feeling that so many people don’t like expressing to their lovers.”
Drawing from his own experiences and observations, Sunrok recognizes the importance of openly expressing emotions in relationships. “I have seen people breaking up because they were genuine on what they want from their lovers,” he reflected. “And I have also experienced a scenario whereby I was left by a woman because I lacked the guts to express my emotions towards her.”
Despite the challenges of balancing music with other responsibilities, Sunrok remains dedicated to his craft. “Doing music and working at the same time can be challenging,” he admitted. “But for me, music is part of my life and I can’t afford to stop singing.” Whether it’s composing on his off days or pulling overnight sessions in the studio, Sunrok’s commitment to his artistry shines through.
Having immersed himself in music from a young age, Sunrok has honed his skills by studying various genres and vocal techniques. “I have learned and mastered a lot of genres and how rappers, singers, etc., blend their voices,” he shared. “And this has helped me create my own style of singing, which I enjoy doing.”
Yet, like many artists, Sunrok has faced his share of challenges, particularly financial constraints and time management. “The greatest challenge I have ever faced is financial instability and time,” he confessed. “Balancing less income with more responsibilities can be heartbreaking.” Despite setbacks, Sunrok remains determined to overcome obstacles and share his music with the world.
As he looks towards the future, Sunrok remains optimistic about his musical journey. “I will do anything possible to make sure I make good music for you, my fans,” he affirmed. “And together, tutafika mbali—we will go far.” With “Hisia” as a testament to his passion and dedication, Sunrok’s heartfelt melodies are sure to resonate with listeners far and wide.
