THE
BEGINNING
My Story
I was born in the heart of South Africa, where dreams are made from nothing and the beat of the streets becomes your first teacher.
Music was everywhere — church on Sunday, kwaito in the streets, and house music that spoke to my soul.
I didn't have much, but I had rhythm. I didn't have the best equipment, but I had hunger.
THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED.
