Speaking to Sedibeng Ster, Mehlomakhulu expressed his pride and excitement in his achievements, stating: “Towards the end of 2022, Black Coffee was invited as a guest on Everything House Music to speak about music. He heard my main poetic voice-over on the show which speaks about house music, and he was blown away. I am always preaching positivity, kindness and love on every musical project I create or write. I have a lot of dreams pertaining me being a successful poet. One of them is seeing my poems or writings being incorporated into a film production handled by companies such as Netflix.”
During the interview Mehlomakhulu also mentioned that he will love to work with the world-renowned Producer and DJ, Black Coffee. “I have always been a fan of his music since I was a young boy, and now as I am making strides within the music space, I feel that my vision would be brought to life by us coming together and making magic in the studio. I will never give up on that dream.”

He is born a vivant; he has a strong personality as an individual and also as a poet, he is a gem. He must be steady, and continue the movement, I will quote Martin Luther Kind “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, keep moving forward.”
