World music evokes a feeling. You don't have to think about the scene that it comes from.

I've been making music for as long as I can remember. I would, as a kid, just sing little ideas or be making something.

I developed this guiding statement to stress on the fact that every good thing takes time to develop.

I must say that the first person to realise that I was talented in art was my mother.

I think I was just too young to even understand what was going on. When I was still living in South Africa, there was still so much racial tension.

When I think back, I felt like I had the life that a lot of white American kids grew up with in the suburbs in the States. I started noticing, as Apartheid's grip weakened, that we had more and more black kids at school; I had more and more black friends. But I never really saw a separation between myself and the black kids at school.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of the US, and hopefully spending some of the summer in Europe playing festivals. It's early days though, so who knows.
