My first child childhood memory ….
I think l was around 4 or 5 years old when l got the beating of my life after buying toy cars with my brother Mayanda, with the money meant for vegies…
My childhood idol…
It’s Akon. I used to like Akon’ songs so much and always hoped that one day l will have my own songs, however over the years, l kinda started to be a Chris Brown fan to date….
My first pet …
It was a dog named Whiskey. He was a Chihuahua, we named him Whiskey because he always seemed like he was drunk (kkkkkk)….
My first CD….
The first CD that l got was for Lil Wayne ‘Carter 3 album, as my brother used to be a Lil Wayne fan and gradually l started liking his songs as well…
My First School…
It’s Nketa Primary School… I went there because I wanted to attend the same school my brother Brett went to so that l could have his protection as l wasn’t a violent person …
My First Music Hero…
It was Akon, he really inspired me a lot musically and his way of life…His music really made me look at things differently and l learnt to forgive and not to take things too personal whenever l listened to his song “Put the blame on me “which is still one of my favorite song from him.
My First Best-friend…
Growing up, l wasn’t a sociable person so the only person l used to play with is Tafadzwa who lived next door and till now …However, l have extended my circle as l now also have Jeffrey and Panashe (who have played a role in supporting me as a musician)….
My first heartbreak…
It happened after l discovered that one of my friends was flirting with the gal that l really loved and still do💔😂….
