It Wasn't Easy

Peter Ochuko Godstime, known professionally as Grathony, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter from Okpe, Delta State.
From a young age, music became more than sound to him, it was escape, healing, and purpose. He started singing at fifteen, spending years memorizing songs, singing along every single day, and dreaming of finding his own voice.
But the road hasn’t been easy. Growing up with a speech impediment and facing criticism for his diction and articulation, Grathony was often told he could never be a singer, only a songwriter. Yet, instead of giving up, he decided to prove that imperfection could be beautiful too.
After years of learning, creating, and growing, he began his new journey with his first single, “It Wasn’t Easy.” The song reflects his struggles, growth, and the strength to keep believing in himself even when nobody else did.
Grathony’s sound blends elements of pop, R&B, and hip-hop, shaped by his emotions, experiences, and unique tone. His music carries raw truth, not perfection, but passion and authenticity that listeners can feel.
He stands out not because he tries to sound like others, but because he embraces his differences. His diction, accent, and imperfections are now part of his style, defining him as an artist who turns pain into art.
For Grathony, this is more than music, it’s a journey of self-belief, growth, and freedom. And as he rises again, he wants the world to feel his story through every lyric, melody, and emotion.
