“My sound is growing, even if I have to say so myself.
“There has been so much to learn and absorb over the years.”
He says he grew up listening to Rebecca Malope, Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, Letha Mbuli, Dolly Parton and Tracy Chapman.
Born and raised in Tsakane, Vusi started performing and ministering at the age of 16 at his church in the worship team and also begun ministering at weddings, funerals and events singing both cover versions and self-penned songs.

Unpacking the journey showcase will be held on June 3 at Centre of Hope, Tsakane Extension 5C at 3pm.
