Born and raised in the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho, I play no concrete instrument but my sound-synthesizing software, while layering my smooth and mellow vocals on the instrumentals I produce. Kingdom In The Sky – EP is comprised of five songs with a rich, melt sound and featuring falsetto vocals on a few of the songs. The EP covers personal issues from lovelornness to finding my way in modern society.
Since my arrival in the US in 2011, I have sung baritone & bass in two Austin-based choirs, Huston-Tillotson University Concert Choir and St. James Episcopal Church Choir. I have also participated in Hear There Everywhere, an international artist showcase during SXSW 2013, and City of Austin September Concert. I am currently in the midst of collaborating with other Austin artists on future projects.

Before flying over to the Land of the Free, I competed in numerous talent shows including one which broadcast nationally in my homeland. I then released One Heart, a two-version single with a pop and soulful ballad version. Positive reviews and feedback to radio-play of One Heart led to the birth of Kingdom In The Sky two years later.
