Bisa Kdei also revealed that he is not overly concerned about nominations, stressing that his priority lies in building a lasting musical legacy.

“I don’t remember the last time I was nominated at the TGMAs and it’s okay. If it comes, I’m good and if it doesn’t, no problem,” he stated.

He noted that from the beginning of his career, his goal has always been to create timeless music that will be appreciated for generations.

“When I started music, I said I wanted to create something that in the next ten to twenty years, people are going to listen to and say I really worked hard, and it’s happening. That’s the biggest achievement for me,” he added.
