He says he used to listen to his mixtapes on “5fm” and that is when he then showed much interest. Dj Clock was also an inspiration in experimenting with music production. In the beginning, he would ask himself a lot of questions like, “how does one create a beat?, how does one make a hit?” he then told himself that he actually knows music and believed in himself that he can do this, in fact he can create his own music and this was back in 2013.
