In 2003, shortly after the National conflict, he recorded and released his 1st single, “Yu Go See Am,” which was the main seller in the “Bodyguard Compilation (Vol. 1)“; this drew the attention of the C.E.O of the Bodyguard Studio (King Fisher) – after talks, an album was immediately under way, which eventually came out in October 2004, titled “Borbor Belleh.” It was a political social commentary that changed the face of Sierra Leone‘s music industry both home and abroad; “Tutu Party” which made the brd track on the album “Borbor Belleh” was an instant hit, it quickly became a massive commercial success which had international acts across the world doing their own versions – “Borbor Pain,” another big hit probably close to “Tutu Party” was on the 2nd album, “Tu Foot Arata.”
