In an interview with DailySun, she discussed her musical journey and the significant role TikTok played in her rise to fame, as posting her videos allowed her to gain recognition from other musicians.

She stated, “It wasn’t a transition. I started as a musician. Music has always been my first love, which is why I have a song titled ‘Jikeleza’ with Kabza De Small and Maphorisa. That’s where it all began. I realised I needed to connect with people who could relate to my story. Fortunately, that’s when Covid-19 hit, and we turned to TikTok and other apps.”
