He brought the African soul into his performance. Nothing like it. It LITERALLY grabs your own soul and won’t let go. I’m so proud of him. He’s a star and a wonderful, wholesome young man. Very proud. He’s made Zimbabwe and Africa proud. ❤❤❤

I'm ready to buy his album. I love how he added his culture in all the songs. Made them sound 10 times better actually lol.

[paulsundberg]

Ok, I'm a 49 year old sworn metal head and even I can see that this kid is special. His talent is off the charts and then throw in the fact that he is a good hearted family oriented person on top of it. I hope this kid sees all of his dreams come true.

[phililemhlongo]

That's how African grandmother's hype a boy up❤️

[peterwy]

His Zimbabwean accent really comes out when he sings.
