“Over the past two years, I’ve been privileged to be part of Sumsounds , a signed artist under the leadership of the legendary DJ Sumbody. During my time at Sumsounds, in partnership with Sony Music, we released music that set the music industry on fire, including the mega hit Iyamemeza which did phenomenally well commercially, even going gold and reaching number one on Metro FM top 40 countdown”.See post below:
His hit single ‘Iyamemeza ‘ with DJ Sumbody has completely changed his life. “Iyamemeza is one song that has opened a range of opportunities for me. It has actually reached where I never thought it would reach. It’s being played outside of SA and has been receiving some love in Europe,” he said.
“Iyamemeza was performed on Idols SA and was also chosen as a song choice. Imagine a big platform such as that putting my song on. This song got dropped four months ago but to see it receiving such love is mind-blowing.Another highlight is Iyamemeza going gold after only being professionally in the game for four months. I’ve collaborated with Lady Du and I’m dominating DJ Sumbody’s album Piano Ibiza. I’m also working on something with Kabza de Small. A lot has been happening these past couple of months,” he added.
