Vision: Live Love Inspire

My journey into music began with my love for drums. I would beat on any surface as long as it produced sound. This allowed me to express and explore various music genres. Before long I joined a church choir and learned to play the drums properly.
Being in the choir equipped me with some of the skills needed for a music career, from vocal training sessions to scoring different song arrangements. These experiences were pivotal to my development as an artiste. I later joined a music group where I learnt the art of song writing and stage performance. While in the group, I encountered Hip-hop/Rap for the first time and fell in love with its use of words so I decided to use ‘Rap’ as a major form of expression in my music, other expressions such as singing and spoken word followed.
I also started learning how to produce music, which led to a self produced EP (RiverSide EP) that was released in 2012 and a double album debut in October 2015 (Beyond Words and T.T.S.S).
Music has allowed me the opportunity to create my own path, to tell my story and inspire the world. My vision is to Live, Love and Inspire.
