He was introduced to Ambitiouz Entertainment’s fans in July this year with a trendy song titled ‘Your Son’ in which he encourages people to have consistent belief in their hustles.
The single was soon followed by another self-produced single titled ‘Angzazi’, a prayer to God where he asks him, to reveal to him his enemies as they could be closer than he may think and they can be the very same people who cry and laugh with him.
Even though the musician is in the limelight now, he shared that before he was signed, he had to beg people to put him on shows. “I didn’t even know where to start promoting my music, getting radio interviews and airplay. I was performing for free,” he shared.
The artist explained that he looks up to artists Tory Lanez (internationally) and locally it’s Sjava. “What makes me unique is that my sound is kind of like a church sound but still has that hip hop/trap vibe. I believe my sound will make changes in my life and the industry will slowly pay attention to it. My fans should expect more music from me.” His music video for ‘Angzazi’ has over 42 000 views on YouTube.
We asked him how he feels about the support he has been getting from fans, he said: “I feel very happy that abantu love the video and it gives me the inspiration to do more. I’m grateful for the love my fans been showing.” In conclusion, the artist said: “To all the upcoming artists, I believe if you do your own thing and don’t let anybody tell you that angeke uyenze, you can do it.
Zimisele ngomsebenzi wakho and pray. Art takes time and your time is coming, even with me, I’m still upcoming,” concluded PA Fakaloice. You can follow the artist on the following social media platforms; Facebook: fakaloice Instagram: pa_fakaloice and Twitter: fakaloice_pa
