She stated that she records at night when everyone is asleep thus making her stay alive at night.<\/p>\n<p>This made her develop an interest in black as darkness has become a companion at night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like it blends with every other colour. I think black is something that fits most of the time. Also, I like it because I\u2019m a witch,\u201d the neo-soul vocalist told Doreen Avio on Joy Prime.<\/p>\n<p>She also stated that she added Nokturnal to her name on her Twitter handle because she is always awake at night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t really sleep at night and it\u2019s been like that for a very long time. So, I figured I might as well make it cool because I\u2019m a very Nokturnal being and I come alive at night. Most of the time I like to work late at night because it\u2019s quiet,\u201d the songstress added. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Asked if she will wear black on her wedding day, the \u2018Ankwadobi\u2019 hitmaker said, \u201cYes, it\u2019s one of the things I\u2019ve always wanted to do but I\u2019m not sure anymore.
