In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Around the age of four or five, i heard Brenda Fassie on the radio. Her voice, melody and cadence caught my hears and heart. Haven't looked back ever since! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? 50 Cent, Get Rich or Die Tryin Brenda Fassie, Memeza Michael Jackson, Thriller Human Nature is my favorite song of all time. 50 Cent is my favorite rapper, i learned how to Rap by reciting his lyrics every chance i got. Vuli Ndlela was the first song i remember hearing as a child, it reminds me of my grandparents. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “1990” 1990 is my favorite song of mine, it gives me emotions and feelings that i have yet to find words to describe. The recording session for 1990 was a blur, maybe that is why I'm drawn to it, there no thought involved in the writing or recording process What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? When i received a direct message on Instagram letting me know that i was picked to be a part of Mr Eazi's emPawa Africa #30 talent incubator program. That moment confirmed a lot of things for me. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Selling out the Madison Square Garden three nights in a row, that is still at the very top of the list.
