I was always a top 10 student who wanted to be number one. One term, I’d be number one, the next, it’d be someone else" "It’s all happened in a year, so it feels great but also quite surreal. It means we’re still on track. Once you figure out a formula, the next move is to make sure it keeps working. I’m grateful, excited, and working my hardest ever now" "I always say that if I’m the greatest and you’re also in the room, you can be the greatest too. It’s about pushing excellence in the work I do, the quality of music we put out, our work ethic, performance and how we look. Let me reply to that first by saying that I’ve quit hip-hop. I don’t want to do it, don’t own it, and I wasn’t born with it" "My team and I are charting a different path. You could box the sound or what I’d like to be called, but that in itself is an issue. People are always trying to fit something in a box, and when it doesn’t fit, we get worried and stressed" "My dad was a journalist, and he studied political science, so, at 18, when I had to decide what I wanted to study at varsity, I chose that too. I knew I also wanted to make music" The only Focalistic interview worth reading right now;By Molife Kumona "It was the same thing I'm doing now. It was like, I make music about my life, from where I come from, what I'm doing right now. And it was the same thing, it was what I was going through at that time. I think I've never changed the way I think of music, it's a diary. So that's what it's been for me" "I think it's because that's where it started, and that's the basis. So I can never let that go, I don't think I would have made music if certain things didn't happen in my life, if I didn't grow up here I wouldn't be the same guy. I'm that type of person and I think what makes everyone unique is your unique story, where you come from so that's where those come from" "Yeah. That's why I'm saying for me I never think of the negative because I would have maybe kept the song and said people are so sad, for me I was like, let me be the light. There's a prayer I always say to God, I want to be the light in people's lives and I want to be the biggest shining star so I can shine the light back to God. And I think that's my purpose in life, so I never really worry about negative things, I pray and make a plan" Interview: Focalistic’s Blend of Hip-Hop and Amapiano Is Working;By Sabelo Mkhabela External links Category:living peopleCategory: South AfricaCategory:Men
