MDouble explains that he was mainly inspired by Kopala Hip Hop star Chef 187.
“Locally, I was inspired by Chef and internationally by Jay Z, Tupac and Lil Wayne,” he says.
“I started doing music and continue to pursue it because of the Joy, as well as other emotions that come from people who listen to music. For me music is a medium through which you can communicate as a hip hop/Rap artiste.
MDouble explains that his stage name not only stands for his full name, it also represents the extra effort he puts in everything he does and wants to achieve.
MDouble records most of his music from Sweet Home Records in Chunga, his own music label.
