He will be working with producers Damien Reilly and Noble Taylor who have collective sales of over 20 million units sold worldwide; DJ and remixer John “Alkatraz” Pirito, a Tiesto protege; Tom Polce, a highly regarded mastering engineer; and Canadian rapper Joey Stylez, who boasts over 10 million YouTube hits.

Locally, F.A.B will be releasing two singles that are part of his upcoming album Masterpiece. The first two singles, Ghetto (produced by Feleba “SK” Zuma) and Now I Understand (produced by Sinima, an American) have been receiving airplay and the videos will be debuting soon on Soweto TV, MTV Base, Channel O, Vuzu, Mzansi Music and Trace.
