He started recording music the same year at Tikhu Studios in Luwinga Mzuzu. He recorded and released his first song titled ‘Good Loving” which featured Meonz in 2008.
He then moved to South Africa in 2011 looking for greener pastures. In South Africa he literally stopped doing music as his focus was on making money for a better livelihood.
He met Sithe his current producer as friends and when he bought studio equipment and opened his own studio his interest in music resurfaced. In 2018 i released a single titled “Made to Be” which simply talks about how I was made to be a musician followed by an EP titled ”Back Home”.

His brother *Sunday Sambo* introduced him to reggae at a tender age and the message conveyed in reggae music. He always wanted to do positive and conscious music and reggae provides him with such a platform.
