My singing talent originated from my parents who loved singing and were members of the Church Choir. Together, they loved to sing Gospel hymns at home. As a teenager, I fell in love with Gospel music and started singing with my friends who could play musical instruments.

My musical career officially started in 1994, when i joined a Gospel Band named NULITE Gospel Sounds. We travelled and performed all over in the Eastern Cape to spread the word of God. In 2002, I left the Band to focus on my work as Fire Chief, as well as my family. In 2020 during Covid, I had an encounter with God, when He spoke to me in these words " you must use the talent I gave you and I will give the wisdom to write your own songs".

In December 2020 , after the passing of my father in law, I realised my wife and i dont have parents anymore. I wrote my first song named THiNKING OF YOU in memory of our departed parents. Since then I continued writing more Gospel Songs.

I am grateful to God for the talent He gave me, to spread the Gospel through my music.I am also grateful for the support of my family throughout my musical career. I always wanted to record my music but got stuck and didnt know how to move forward, until I met Darryll Manuel, producer at Wet Rain Studio in Cape Town, and Desnin Williams, backing vocalist, who made my music come to light. It is indeed a dream come true, to be able to share my music with the World.

God Bless
