BORN IN THE DUSY STREETS OF SOWETO’ WHERE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.MY FAMILY AND I RESIDED NEXT TO A HOSTEL’ WHERE VARIOUS MIGRANT WORKERS LIVED. OVER THE WEEKENDS I FEASTED OVER THE COLOURFUL PERFORMANCES THEY USE TO GIVE. I COULD NOT ESCAPE NOT TO BE INSPIRED BY THESE SPIRITED PERFORMANCES.
SOON MY FRIENDS AND I FOUND OURSELVES PRACITISING.WE BEGAN BUSKING AS GUMBOOT DANCERS.UNAWARE THAT SEED OF PASSION WAS BEING NURTURED.WE THEN WENT ON TO ESTABLISH A YOUTH CLUB.
ELLINGOTN MAZIBUKO BECAME OUR TEACHER IN TAP; BALLET & CONTEMPORARY DANCE.ELLINGTON THEN INSTRODUCED ME TO A DANCE ACADEMY WHERE MY JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF DANCE TRULLY BEGAN.I LEARNT FROM GREAT TEACHERS SUCH AS MICHAEL FISCHER; ADEL BLANK & SANDRA ROSENBURG.
1987 SAW ME PERFORM IN MY FIRST MUSICAL PIECE “THE GREAT WORLDS”. THEN MOVED ONTO PERFORM IN KING AFRIKA; IPI NTOMBI; MARY WIDOW; WEST SIDE STORY & JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR AND MOST RECENTLY SOWETO STORY.
TODAY IM BLESSED TO HAVE PERFORMED ON SOME OF SOUTH AFRICA’S TOP STAGES AND ALONGSIDE PHENOMINAL DANCERS. AS A PERFORMER I WAS NOT LIMITED TO THE STAGE I ALSO BRANCHED INTO THE TV INDUSTRY AND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACT IN SOME OF OUR LOCAL SOAPS INCLUDING GENERATIONS; ISIDINGO & ZERO TOLERNACE.
AS LONG AS MY FEET KEEP TAPPING’ SKY IS THE LIMIT!
