He spent the first 16 years of his life in Nigeria and then went on to study law at Sussex University in the UK.

But now the artist known as Le Gateau Chocolat or LGC for short, is one of the Drag world's top acts, progressing from being a guest artist in cabaret shows while at university, to winning a large grant from the British Arts Council's to pursue his art.

Le Gateau Chocolat has been speaking to Focus on Africa's Bola Mosuro about getting West African audiences to understand his craft and why singing is a major part of his act.
