His boss (Patrong), in appreciating his graduating apprentice offered him an original diamond glass cutter, one of the most vital tools in the profession. Meanwhile the chairman of the occasion, a certain Mr Kingsley who works with the Njindom Cooperative Credit Union, Bamenda Branch promised that in under a weeks time, he shall be offering the graduant his first contract to install aluminium doors and windows in a mega structure under construction.

It should be recalled that F1 started his musical career in Mbengwi, animating at weddings, school socials, cultural week galas and other public gatherings plus concerts in Mbon. Before the advent of the ongoing anglophone crisis, realising that stardom will be a long road to tread, F1 decided to switch to vocational training with the help of Danny Green (the crying comedian) also of Mbengwi origin who connected F1 to an aluminum and glass workshop (Standard Alumininum & Glass Works) at Old Church junction Bamenda where he took his training seriously and today March 14th 2020 graduated to be a boss of his own.

During the event, funds were raised to the tune of hundreds of thousands to support the young artist/entrepreneur establish his own workshop. F1 is signed to Musinash Productions were his artistic career is being built/produced by Musi Waa, the renowned film promoter in Cameroon.

Before going professional, F1 had multiple releases to his credit like "Man Get for Blow", " Mama Miyaka", "Baby Yimeu-mu" etc. He sings in Meta, English and Pidgin and is specialised in Afropop. We wish F1 prosperity in his new found career.
