In a now-viral TikTok video, Isichei opened up about his humble beginnings after arriving in Canada in 2021. His first job was flipping burgers at McDonald’s, followed by DJing at Nigerian events to make ends meet. Despite the income, he found DJing unfulfilling due to the stress and lack of appreciation.

He cycled through various roles in search of stability, working as a warehouse agent, an experience he described as physically draining and isolating, and later as a truck conductor, which he surprisingly enjoyed for the travel and exposure it offered, although he quit after two weeks due to confrontations on the job.
