In the artist’s words:

Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
At age four, I discovered Usher. My cousins lent me a DVD of his 8701 tour. It was mesmerising. I would stay up trying to learn his songs and his moves. I ended up wearing the DVD out with the number of times I'd rewatch it. I wanted to be like him.

What are your top 3 all-time favourite albums, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?

Bon Iver, Bon Iver. Kanye West, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Kendrick Lamar, good kid, m.A.A.d city (Deluxe Version).

Bon Iver has encapsulated incredible memories and moments from my early teen years.

Kanye's MBDTF was the first album I'd heard that took me on a journey through a story, like a movie.

Kendrick showed me just how powerful a story could be.

What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
One of the most memorable experiences of my career was a writing camp that I had in Cape Town in 2023. After a session, I was alone in the studio messing with my vocal delivery and I stumbled upon a sound that I felt authentically represented me.

Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist?
Getting on a plane and travelling to a different part of the world to perform live for an audience of people is definitely a big thing on my artistic bucket list.
