He started his music journey back in the days while still in high school.Sanii used to record his freestyle music on tapes using a recorder by then but after he discovered that he could compose good songs,he decided to hit the studio with the little cash he had at that particular moment which was only 1500,way back in 2010.

Sanii recorded a song titled MAKASI, portraying how the society was,at his residential area.Despite the fact that the song wasn't received well by the industry,he never gave up on his talent and love for music and for that matter he cheered himself on and recorded his second single, MY WAY, which did so well and kept him on the maps as an artist to watch out for.
