00:00My music is Afro-Soul. It's a fusion of R&B, of a touch of pop, Afro-pop in
00:29particular. Of course, the use of African languages. I'm very cognizant of the fact
00:41that most of my audience don't necessarily speak Zulu or Sotho or Xhosa even. So when
00:47I write, I try to pick melodies that are familiar.
00:54I find people also perceive the emotion of the song. They sometimes are able to sense
01:01the meaning behind the songs and that resonates with them.
01:07Have I lost the true meaning of life, my friend? Oh, but maybe we fall so we can watch ourselves
01:14begin to rise again. Oh, oh.
01:16I bring a sense of rhythm to the song. I find people also perceive the emotion of the song.
01:22They sometimes are able to sense the meaning behind the songs and that resonates with them.
01:27Have I lost the true meaning of life, my friend? Oh, but maybe we fall so we can watch ourselves

01:35You know, I bring a sense of returning to basics in that the music allows you to connect with
01:44a sense of self. There's a great sense of hopefulness.
01:48we are going
02:03Because our gold, growing higher and higher
02:11So we rise again, we are rising, rising, rising, rising
02:13We are rising, rising, rising again
02:17So we rise again
02:19We are rising, rising, rising, rising again
02:23Rise again, yeah, yeah.
02:25Rise and, rise and, rise and again.
02:31Rise again.
