The Temale-based artiste, whose area of specialization include Hip-hop, Afropop, Dancehall and other notable genres, said he had always had the passion for music right from infancy.
Teflon Flexx, born Akaateba Christopher, says he’s driven by a burning passion for music and this is what motivates him to pursue music in addition to his education.
The former product of St Charles Minor Seminary cites Ghana's biggest artiste, Sarkodie as his major influence.
“Sarkodie has always been my musical idol because he has proven that music can be very successful and he has really taken Ghanaian music to places and It is always going to be a dream come true to perform with or on the same stage with Sarkodie and I know hard work will get me there," he said.

During his leisure time, he does some research to augment his craft. He watches documentaries, listens to music and read as well.
On what he wants to achieve with his music, he said; "My goal is to be influentially successful with music globally and
I want to be known as the person whose songs you dance to in the club and the person you listen to when you are down and alone."
