Quotes
- My dad was a DJ and loved playing music from when I was a baby. The story he tells is if there was no music, I wouldn't go to sleep. Even when I was in school, I would wear my casual clothes under my school uniform so that as soon as I finished I would go straight to where my dad was. I was always right by his side at the shows he was playing at, taking in everything.
- As I was getting the information, I was also applying it to a point where many artists in my township already knew that there was a guy called Tyler ICU. You can get what you need if you go to that guy. Because I was still at school, every day after school, we would go to the studio still in uniform and just be there doing music. I was working with 14 artists daily, so doing all this helped me put in my 100 hours.
- I sent it to Phori, and I said, listen to this and tell me what you think; there's a few stuff I need to do on it. So, he did his thing and sent back the mp3.
- I was working with these two guys, Nandipha and Ceeka, and we were working on a few things. They kept sending me projects, and we exchanged things back and forth. So, they sent me the song's project, and I worked on it some more.
