“I’ve learned we all fight the system in different ways. For me, music is how I respond. I’m honest in how I reflect what’s around me. Where I’m from, Zongos, you don’t often see guys being this vulnerable. They’ll say, ‘Being soft gets you nowhere.’ But I say it anyway. And that gives me power,” Black Sherif stated.
Black Sherif talking about his song “Victory Song,” where he opened up about crying alone in a London hotel.

“Because no one talks about that part of success. People see you on stage or travelling, but they don’t see the moments when the noise fades, and you’re alone with your thoughts. That moment reminded me that I’m still that kid from back home, feeling things deeply. I want people to hear that. That’s the kind of artist I want to be,” he added.
