he went to study professionally at the University of KZN.

like Joyous Celebration, Ntokozo Mbambo, Judith Sephuma, Khaya Mthethwa, Brenda
Mtambo, Mahalia Buchanan, Mkhululi Bhebhe (Zim), Sbusiso Mthembu and more. He
has played for greats like Kirk Franklin, Vashawn Mitchell, Donnie McClurkin.
Now branching out as an artist in his own right, he is now recording a
selection of his own compositions with jazz, African and gospel elements.
