The Bertrams-based hip-hop artist, Sifiso Nene is a musician and businessman with big dreams. The 27-year-old, who was born in Piet Retief in Mpumalanga, said that from a young age, music has been his passion.
“I wrote my first song at the age of 11 and never stopped. It’s my passion to write songs that will speak to the people,” said Nene.
He said he aims to touch people’s souls as he interacts with them through music about everyday struggles. Known as ‘Damase ‘ to his fans, Nene said he came to Johannesburg to pursue his love of music.
As the founder of Big Dee Entertainment, he is not only an artist but also a businessman. He also has two clothing lines.
