“I was raised around every genre of music, which is heard through the distinct style of my music. I love to fuse Xhosa and English in my original songs, as it is a great way of enticing people from all backgrounds to listen. I am so proud to be showcasing African music, and mixing it with English makes it accessible to everyone, whilst educating people on African culture.”
