MY FIRST CHILDHOOD MEMORY
It was when l was asked to sing in front of the church congregation with a friend of mine at the age of eleven.
It was so bad, everyone laughed at me such that I left the church crying. Looking back at it all, it helped me work hard and perfect my craft…
MY FIRST CHILDHOOD IDOL…
It would be Peter Ndlovu.
I always wanted to be a football player before music and he was an icon growing up.
MY FIRST MUSIC HERO…
It’s Usher Raymond.
I had every record, tape, DVD. I remember we would watch them repeatedly and not get tired.
His music played a major role in my journey.
MY FIRST INSTRUMENT….
It was a guitar. Though it was missing a lot of strings I loved it and I remember girls would compliment it not knowing it was missing some strings 😂.
MY FIRST SCHOOL…
It’s Lozikeyi Primary School
MY FIRST BEST FRIEND…
It’s my neighbour Alex Sammy.
We spent half of our childhood and teen years together and for some weird reason, we always got into trouble (kkk)
MY FIRST HEARTBREAK….
I think I was in Primary, there was a girl I was interested in. After doing all those sweet textbook moves to get her attention ( letter, rose, etc.) only for her to date someone else.
That was probably my first rejection and feeling of heartbreak.
MY FIRST TIME CRYING AS AN ADULT…
It’s when I lost my grandmother.
She was more of a mother than a granny cause she was raised after my mother’s passing and most of the values I have today were instilled by her.
MY FIRST CD..
It was some R&B mix.
It had everything from R. Kelly, Nelly, Usher, and 50 Cent.
I made sure no one borrowed cause I didn’t want it to get scratched. (Kkkk)
MY FIRST PET…
It was a white dog named Snowy.
MY FIRST TIME RECORDING…
It was in 2014 by the late Cal_Vin Studio.
MY FIRST JOB…
It’s working at a motor rewinding company soon after school for about three months…
FUTURE PLANS
He plans on continuing to make music, performing pushing the rafteyond borders. His music can be accessible at all streaming stores…
