"I think it’s important for youth to have their music and express themselves but I would like to see more conscious lyrics not only on sex and drugs. Being young doesn’t mean you have nothing important to say - you're the future."

"Racism at the end is just fear. Fear of the “other “ - fear of not knowing what to expect from somebody looking different than what someone has known in their life.," he said adding, "My experience is that it's more difficult for the older generation to accept that humans are mixing their colors with no fear but with joy and love. They can’t imagine it’s possible but we are here to show them. Just like our kids will always show us a little glimpse of the possibilities of the future."

He is the founder of Africa is Now and is known for hits such as Continental scars featuring Tedd Josiah, Uhuru Africa and Hewani. Talking about his career, he said
