He was so passionate about music that he once took his bus fare for school and bought a keyboard and although he got into trouble for his actions with his parents, they now understand that making music is his calling.
He found his big break into the industry after working on a song with Mas Musiq. At the time he was not completely sold on the amapiano genre and was under the impression that it wasn’t musical enough. “We did an amapinao remix of afro soul song Zaka Zaka and it became a hit. That’s when I met DJ Maphorisa and I haven’t looked back ever since.”
