Ukrainian artist J Scope would take part in this year's selection for the Ukrainian Melody Festival.

- In January, they told me that my contribution "Love & Hate" had gone on to the qualifying competition.

I was really looking forward to joining, says Folajin Oyedamola Jerry "J Scope"

From Nigeria to Ukraine to Västervik

J Scope, whose full name is Folajin Oyedamola Jerry, moved from Nigeria to Ukraine at the age of 16.

When the war broke out, he fled with his family to Poland and on to Sweden.

Today they live in Västervik.

- It is wonderful to wake up and see the children smile and feel good again, he says.

Tour of asylum accommodation for Ukrainian refugees

Now J Scope wants to visit and perform at the county's asylum accommodation.

The first stop was Elsabo manor in Berga in Högsby municipality.

- I know that many go there and are worried about their relatives in their home country.

If my music makes a single person smile, it means a lot to me, says J Scope.
