M u z i

M O S T M E M O R A B L E

M U S I C E X P E R I E N C E :

Crowd-surfing in

Reims, France. There’s

always good energy

wherever I perform,

but South Africa takes

it. Nothing beats the

support you get

at home.

My mother. I’m

a mama’s boy!

S T Y L E E S S E N T I A L S :

A pair of Vans,

a beanie and a white

T-shirt. No V-necks.

A P A R T N E R?

Someone who likes

reading books – I love

bookworms. Sharing

knowledge is

a love language.

M O S T R O M A N T I C

D A T E :

Dates at home are

always dope – when

someone changes up

your crib and you come

back to rose petals,

scented candles and

some good music. I’m

a simple guy.

I’d be a doctor. I was

studying medicine

before I decided to

go into music.

D R E A M C O L L A B?^

Daft Punk. I’d be so

happy – you’d hear

a vocal of me crying

tears of joy in

the song! 

F O R W A R D T O?

I’m currently working

on an album and I’m also

in talks with Coldplay

for something, so we

shall see.

R E C E I V E D :
‘What’s meant for you
won’t pass you by.’ This
quote eases the pressure
of always trying to move
forward. Now I flow
better with the universe
and just do my best. Oh,
and my personal fave
for all musos: ‘Own your
PHOTOGRAPHY master rights.’
