| Introduction | Signed to Soulistic Music. Vocalist, Songwriter, Producer. Worked with renowned names like Dj Franck Roger, Black Coffee, Sis n Jones,KB (Mamosadi), Zubz, Optical Illusion and Lauryn Hill. Originally from Sebokeng in the Sedibeng region, where I grew up and went to school. Then moved to Tshwane to further my studies at the University of Pretoria, studying B Com Accounting in 2003. In 2004 met up with producer Black Coffee and worked on a remix for a song I had done which was released on a compilation titled "Expressions" released under Outrageous Records. Throughout the years I worked on various projects as a producer and songwriter. Late 2009 we started working on Arise and Shine and wrapped it up in August 2010. My debut album is titled Arise and Shine and features Vikter Duplaix, Deborah Frazier, J.R. and Zano. Production on the album was done by Black Coffee, Tumelo Ruele, Culoe De Song and Zakes Bantwini. Arise and Shine is comprised of 14 tracks, all very sentimental and very versatile in terms of subject matter. |
