The love for being an entertainer came from his father, “my love for music started at a very young age, having my biggest musical influence being my father and his band. Whenever I heard music, I always felt at home”. “Apart from watching TV and seeing all the artists do they thing and wishing it was me, my father used to play a piano and I enjoyed watching him and his band play.
