The twenty-year-old Capetonian is getting a crash course in stardom in the City of Angels, while he rides the wave of his hit debut single Miss Me
I didn’t know what I wanted to do in life but I’ve always loved music, and when Covid hit and we went into that hectic first 30-day lockdown I got into writing again, producing music and testing my abilities. I put out a song on SoundCloud and a mutual friend put me in touch with a guy called David [Balshaw], who’s a Cape Town-based producer.
His producing partner was a guy called Bubele Booi, who was in New York at the time. Our relationship grew from strength to strength and we started writing together. I enjoyed the music we were making and couldn’t wait to put the songs out into the world. David said, “let’s chill, let’s take it easy and do this properly”. It’s been a rollercoaster, I still don’t know why or how I’m here. What I do know is that I’m going to continue to make music that people enjoy and have fun along the way.
With TikTok and Instagram, you can blow up overnight and suddenly people are singing your song — 60,000 songs are uploaded daily onto Spotify — and to try to break that noise is near impossible. From that perspective, rather than cringing or feeling silly, I’d suggest to anyone wanting to make music to not think about it too much, set up your phone and dance, sing your music, have fun and either people enjoy it or they don’t.
I want to do music for the rest of my life, so ultimately I moved past the potential of being “tuned” and I looked at it through the light of it being my dream, being my passion and TikTok being the platform for me to perform and promote my music.popularity was because it reflected a real and universal experience. I wrote it about someone who made me feel incredible and happy. I loved the person I was when I was around her.
