His more than successful career has seen him explore beyond continents, collaborating with top artistes around the world. More impressive is his effort to build from his African root.

Highlighting on the collaboration, the ‘Kamata crooner’ added, “I Believe in unity and peace, and music is one of of the biggest thing that connects different countries and bring people with different culture together! That’s why i decided to join with my brother’s in South Africa to motivate people to keep the unity and peace”.
