The soft-spoken Okota Lagos based music maker is a solo artiste as well as a member of a group he and his friends formed a couple of years ago known as Phantom Boys. From what Umuaka Times gathered, Phantom Boys as a group has conquered a lot of areas in Lagos especially, night clubs and big hotels.

The slim fit Deekah expressed deep concerns and disappointments over the lyrics and discouraging lifestyles of many Nigerian musicians of today. He cautioned seriously about the drug life and the no good message content of some songs by many Nigerian musicians and advised them to brace up for positive change and disregard waywardness. According to him, music is for relaxation, education and positive mindsets that promote love, unity and sound education.”It should not be polluted by half baked song writers and producers.”
Concerning his music idols, Deekah brags that he has no music idol he looks up to. In his own words, “I look up to myself and I do my things my own way.” He described his songs as having an infectious appeal and tells his fans to be patient with him as he will soon be the centre of the universe. Following his determination to rule the music world and prepare for the heavy task ahead, Deekah has a music studio in his house where he does a lot of sound activities and creates the beats and rhythmic excellence he desires.
Deekah sent his message of love and appreciation to all the DJs, event planners, session men and producers who have worked with him in one way or the other over the years. He also demonstrated his love to the member of his group, the Phantom Boys, made up of he and his friend Chinonso David, who goes by the stage name, Numsy.
