His music journey started in 2017. This is after he lost his job, so he used his savings to buy a keyboard.
Sakhile started teaching himself how to play the keyboard and it wasn’t long before he got a compliment from his mother.
“That sounds really nice, I like it,” she said.
The encouragement propelled him to take his keyboard-playing skills to a new level.
Practical and theory work hand in hand. Sakhile understands this concept as he started attending Saturday music lessons at the University of the Witwatersrand, where he learned basic music theory, such as how to read musical notes.
