A journey of perseverance
Musa's journey to appearing on Britain's Got Talent wasn't an easy one. He was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, which led to him having to have one of his legs amputated.

Before his battle with cancer, Musa was a soccer player in South Africa. His love for England led him to move to London where he inspires others with his incredible story and passion for dance. His motto of turning “I can't” into “I can” is the driving force behind his dance performances.
