MY FIRST CHILDHOOD MEMORY…
Am not sure but I remember l was a fan of listening to the radio thanks to my uncle and also me liking singing as my parents led praise and worship.

It has to be my mom. The way she sang at church with her voice lighting up the room, commanding attention.
MY FIRST MUSIC HERO…
It’s Hudson Simbarashe, he plays guitar. He played at my church music night and the way he played made me fall in love with the guitar.
MY FIRST INSTRUMENT…
It was the Acoustic guitar. Unfortunately, my uncle’s friend borrowed it and never brought it back.

It’s St Gabriel. It was more of a preschool and a place where I learned most of my coloring and drawing.
