It all started with rehearsal then freestyling with my lovely guitar then mafimisere popped into my head, decided to record it with my phone, which was later heard by a very good friend (versatile) who decided to produce it for me.

WORDS TO OTHER UPCOMING ARTIST LIKE YOU?
Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves we are connected .
Yes most of us, from time to time feel discouraged, but let's not forget the goal, let the goal keep us moving, also let's not compete with each other, the sky is enough for everyone. See y'all at the top thank you.
