“I started off as a DJ. I was trying to record my own vocals in the studio and then I wanted to get things sorted in the studio so I started taking DJ classes with Lebza The Villain and learning from different people. I was part of Soulistic and managed them but then we parted ways,” Makhanya told TshishaLIVE in a recent interview.

“Music inspires me, [it] “It doesn't matter if I'm singing, acting or DJing, I am healing people through it. My acting talent will heal people at home and educated audiences. The same is true with my music and DJ career. It's the same energy I'm delivering.”
