1.Many people know me as a radio and club DJ, TV presenter, artist, producer and MC. I’m passionate about life, and I love to see other people do well. My family inspires me and I’m driven by the will to be excellent, and not settle for mediocrity.

2. I enjoy the creative platform that radio and TV offer me. I love TV because it has prominence, and has a wider reach. However, radio is my first love. I fell in love with it in my early teens because I am talkative and love music.

3. Being a celebrity is not as glamourous as it looks. I find that there are unnecessary high expectations to be superhuman, and you relinquish your right to privacy. It can be a unfair. However, I acknowledge that being a celeb can boost your self-esteem.

4. Music is a huge part of my life. There are songs that hold special memories for specific parts of my life. Music makes me feel better and inspires me in many ways. I’m currently working with young producers, and I plan to release singles instead of albums.

5. I believe we all need to play our part in building a better and brighter future. I do motivational talks in schools around Gauteng to empower young people. I also provide bursaries to study media. I want my brand to play a vital role in uplifting young people.

6. I’m excited about what the future holds. There is still so much I want to do for my loved ones and South Africa. I want to represent progress and a dynamic approach to the entertainment industry.
