Reflecting on his journey, Admiral Mo said: “I play different kinds of music which include reggae, salsa, dancehall, country, rock ‘n’ roll, and I enjoy sharing it with people. I have an album on Spotify and videos on YouTube. Here in The Gambia, we play three times a week in different places, and I’m looking forward to bigger stages in the future.”
