does
it all
Words byNkosiyati Khumalo
‘I was truly
born to
entertain,
whether it’s
visually or
sonically’
Moving between his many
passions – music-fashion-TV-
design – at a pace that would
overwhelm most of us, what
does he fi nd they have in
common? ‘I love that they’re
all mediums to communicate.
I love sharing my interpretation
of how I see or hear the world
with people. I was truly born
to entertain, whether it’s visual
or sonically.’
Entertain he will, with a new
Dreamteam EP entitled Level
Up dropping soon, and a few
more fashion collaborations
planned to follow (keep an eye
on these pages).
Through it all, how does
Dash keep his head out of the
hype? ‘My family has always
been my anchor. The industry
I’m in is very fi ckle and I’ve
learnt to just focus on the craft
and bettering myself. I don’t do
anything for money, likes or
approval; I just engage in
projects I truly believe in.’The showman who
loves to entertain
