It all started in a church choir when I was told to sing jazz and tried Perdue Jazz but I received the same reference. Went back and forth trying to imitate existing voices until I discovered the beauty and eccentricity of my sound, that was October 2017. Since then my confidence in my voice has elevated and it’s rolling.
Having worked with a lot of artists creating different sounds, infused rhythms with one song if not more. It is the same element that makes the journey of self discovery in the music space more fun.
I’ve performed at local events such as:
Sawubona Music Jam (2017)
Soweto Theatre - Soweto Arts and Crafts Fair (2017)
Poetic Thursdays (2017)
A black boy’s dream, AGOG Gallery (2018)
Serial Chillas (2018)
Inside Out (2018)
Ancient 2D (2018)
And Many More...
