Before he turned into a well known vocalist, J’Something used to oversee, clean and set up a music studio for other real nearby performers.
The star thought about his voyage in the business, taking fans back to where everything began eight years prior when he connected with a cousin for help landing a position.
“My family obviously reached out to him and guilt tripped him into at least listening to my music,” the singer shared. “At the time I was doing gospel acoustic music and that really wasn’t any good… he listened and tried to help but it really wasn’t his forte and if I am brutally honest I just wasn’t good enough at the time,” he added.
In the post J went on to explain that he ended up finishing his BCom in Business Science and was then invited to Joburg by his cousin who helped get him a job.
“I guarantee you that the ambition of trying to get me a job had nothing to do with music. I ended up managing a studio and cleaning the studio rooms and setting them up for the big stars that walked through the doors (people like Hugh Masekela, Joyous, Brian Temba, Jamali, Sipho Hotstix, etc)… I did that job with such passion and commitment, honoured to be in the presence of all these stars,” he wrote.
The muso ended his inspiring post by thanking his cousin for “opening the door” for him. “Thank you for offering me your couch for so long and helping me buy my first car (a pimping Tazz),” he added.
