… when it happened, when I fell head over heels in love with music. I’d obviously heard tons and tons of music before but it was always a background thing for me and I hardly ever payed attention to it. But then as a kid there was this movie that had just come out that I was excited to watch – P.J Hogan’s Peter Pan that had been released in 2003. While watching it a song played when Wendy flew out of her window for the first time – Clocks from Coldplay – and I suddenly experienced a strange sensation that I had never experienced before. My heart started to race, and I became so overwhelmed with emotion and this extraordinary sense of excitement and awe from what I was listening to; and I just knew. From here on out, music would never be the same again for me. It became everything for me in an instant and I knew that I was hooked for life.

And so my musical journey began. I started with Vocal and Piano Lessons at the age of 7, at Witbank arts campus where I spent a lot of time doing classical training. I was apart of countless Art’s Festivals and Talent for Africa’s and lots of other competitions in-between, where I received mainly Gold and Diploma Certificates. I then decided that I wanted to take a step a further with my skill and ability and I started Guitar lessons at the age of 12 at Eden Music Studios. I also continued piano and vocal lessons here where my focus shifted from classical training to Ear training and learning how to play by ear. This is where my unique sound as a musician truly started to develop. I had an incredible teacher that invested  in me and built me up and built up my confidence. I wouldn’t be where I am without her as my teacher and mentor! 

After a few years, my teacher relocated and I then moved to Masson Music where I spent the majority of my highschool career training at. I was exposed to frequently playing with other musicians and in many different band settings.

This accelerated my growth even more. From the age of 16 I’ve had opportunities to record a number of my own songs in studio and be apart of multiple other studio projects.
