ood day Rose, beyond any doubt you have an amazing personality and you are a true definition of excellency and distinction, what’s your secret?
Good day and thank you for the opportunity to get a feature in your magazine. I have always have had a dream of being an artiste and a leader and have not lost sight of wanting to do things differently. I am one person who is not afraid to venture into the unknown and try out new things. The attribute of distinction comes when you think deeply on what you want to achieve, how you want to impact meaningful on others and always being conscious of the fact that in whatever you do, you want to leave a meaningful legacy. In a bid to achieve that, I have and still continue to try and invest in a meaningful brand in terms of time, innovation, research and resources. It’s never easy but since I made that decision, I made sure I invested into it and gave it all it deserved. The same goes with excellence, it also requires nurturing the things you are passionate about through everything you have, looking out for sources of inspiration and trying to emulate them in a way that distinguishes you from them, so that at the end of the day you still remain you, without losing yourself in the process.

ose you’re an award-winning artist and a role model to many young people, what advice would you give to people that follows your footsteps?
Am so humbled for having been recognized and nominated for the Star FM best House/ Amapiano song alongside amazing artistes like Shasha and Nox. Though I didn’t win the award, the nomination itself was enough. It made me realize that my work was being noticed and appreciated. The song Lujulile still remains the biggest song I have done so far. There is however still more to come. Persistence and hard work do pay. I got into the music industry in 2003, only to get my breakthrough in 2020. I urge all the young people out there not to give up on their dreams, nurture their passions in whatever ways they can and to keep pushing.

f you had the chance to turn the hands of time, what advice would you give to your 20-year-old self?
I would get serious with my musical calling early enough. Since I was yound, music was my passion. If I had seriously followed that dream at a tender age, I could right now be speaking of many albums in the bag, many collaborations and probably a more vibrant brand. 10
