Teddy Cash: Cleaner by day, singer by night. lesleymofokeng
In 2015 he started working with producer Thapelo Kgomotshwane. In no time he devised a plan to get his name out there - partnering with DJs and freelancing over their beats and mixes at gigs.
He became so well-known that when SABC2 Morning Live came to town for a live broadcast he was invited to speak about the challenges musicians face in that part of the world.In 2017 he moved to Joburg to face the harsh realities of life away from his family. "I had to leave the comfort of my bed to sleep on a sponge. I had to come to an empty flat with no warm plate of food waiting for me. Sometimes we'd go without a meal, because it's everyone for themselves," he reminisces.
"But I couldn't go back to the comfort of my home. I was here already and I had to keep on going ahead. Also people back at home saw me as someone who pushed hard for their art, they were proud of me and I just couldn't let them down.""I don't mind what I do. It's an opportunity for me to learn about professionalism and punctuality. This is my first job. I've always been doing my thing as a musician," he said.
Teddy Cash says he is saving money to afford his own Shure microphone that he can use at gigs after work. He also dreams of gracing billboards and rake in endorsements.
