The ‘Hard Hustle’ will then outline where you want to be in the future, a motivation and inspiration to other artists who are struggling.

In his early life, he did poetry and grew up listening to different kinds of genres but did not have a favorite.

“ Poetry and arts started off as an idea at first back in secondary school where I was intrigued with the idea of delivering a long message through poetry that is how I started to become a Person Of Extra Ordinary project,” he said when explaining his journey.

His music and poetry have had the privilege of being played on Eswatini Broadcasting Services (EBIS) radio station and the chance of bagging an exclusive interview on Eswatini Television.
