However, Superstar Ace has set his sights on success on a far larger scale, saying,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;The African continent is speaking a different language in the music scene. There are more interconnections that are rising, thanks to social media breaking boundaries across the continent and taking music closer to the people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The musician is well-travelled, exploring the sights and sounds of a wide variety of countries, and allowing each to influence his own unique voice as a performer.
