The past 3 months have been a mix of highs and lows while navigating my new life in London.
Finding a home, starting a new job while away from my fam has been challenging.
This week we achieved so much when my family finally joined me in the UK for our next adventure ❤️

I have just spent the past 2 weeks in South Africa, it’s been a busy time for me. Finally closing shop, so many moving parts… Selling our house, sorting Visa’s, flights, moving my whole life and family to the UK to peruse this opportunity ahead of me at Defected Records.

I truly feel that as South African producers of house music we are now in our lane.
Although we have been inspired by international producers for years we are finally creating music that has its own sound and feel and is authentically ours.
