Q. How has been your musical journey like since you’ve started?
A. Like any other any other career this game is full of valleys and peaks, trials and tribulations, lessons learnt and not count out exciting moments too. It is all about endurance and patience because it is not easy to please everyone as an entertainer.
Q. Have you revisited your first production and reviewed yourself? How has been the change?

Q. How do you deal with self reflection and healing in times of mental blocks?
A. Like I said earlier, it is all about endurance and patience because this game can be stressful for sure and it can be depressing, especially when your new project gets bad reviews or plans that gets delayed or even financial difficulties to support your career, but thankfully my experiences molded me to be as strong as ever.
Q. How has your growing up/upbringing influence your music and style?
A. Definitely, I grew up in a family of music lovers. My mother was a gospel musician, got a lot cousins who introduced me to different types of music which really played a big role in my life and as a teenager me and my friends would not miss gigs around the townships and not forgetting I started writing songs when I was 11.
Q. Anything you’d like to add of your own
A. Nothing much but just encouraging good people out there to keep on supporting the movement it really means a lot to me, let’s network and work together to make a difference.
I have a personal philosophy in life: If somebody else can do something that I’m doing, they should do it. And what I want to do is find things that would represent a unique contribution to the world – the contribution that only I, and my portfolio of talents, can make happen. Those are my priorities in life.
