Quotes
"It’s too soon to give a response however in my career, this opportunity is a movement towards a positive direction."
"I don’t hear genre in my writing… hence I don’t hear the difference in this song compared to my previous work. Going forth, it will still be music I feel and written according to the emotion it comes in."
"I think the lyrics are the answer to this question, it’s a song written in acknowledging lost love. Thinking about them to the point of dreaming about them. The message behind it is that; sometimes it takes time to fall in love and falling out of love or letting go, also will take time."

“My love for music came from the family I grew up inwith my mom, my dad, and my grandparents. We grew upgoing to church, so singing was very much a part of my life. But the decision to take it up as a career came later on. It’s notsomething I dreamt about as a child as most children would do when they said they wanted to be singers one day – it didn’t happen like that. It was a matter of what was available at the time. I remember relocating from Durban to Jo’burg as a student and the only thing available to study was music. So, boom. In the middle of all the studying, I started doing covers and getting recognised. But if you’d asked me as a child if I wanted to be a musician, the answer would’ve been hhayi.”
