White Robe, performed at the Baxter. A song I wrote blindly a few years ago inspired by a photograph by @justicemukheli . I dedicated it to the many lives lost in Palestine. Reconnecting with this song during this time reminded me that my favourite thing about Islam is the way in which we bury people. It is beautiful and so respectful. How heartbreaking that so many people have not been given the opportunity to be laid to rest with respect and dignity. Thank you to everyone who came, donated and supported and thank you to @alicephoebelou for having us. The show was a fundraiser for @gift.of.the.givers and we managed to raise R50k. I hope this can help in some way as we look towards a small victory with the ICJ ruling and hope that more aid can reach Palestinian people. We are thinking of you šŸ‡µšŸ‡ø

I asked @arronnathan to take some pics of me. Mostly to help rebuild my confidence and find my light again. So we a used a reflector that had this beautiful glow and the thing about a reflector is that it… reflects light. Coming out of a relationship which had broken me in every way - my confidence, sense of reality, trust - it was really hard to pick myself up, love and believe in myself after I was made to feel so small and worthless. But I know my light is bright and beautiful. And although I’m a bit more careful on where I let it shine these days, even if it is just for me, I know my light can never really dim because it radiates from within ✨

Nice live performance video is up now on my YouTube channel! šŸ¤ The one year anniversary of Nice is coming up and I’m feeling a bit sentimental thinking about how much this body of work means to me! I have a few things I’d like to share to celebrate. For now, here is a a video from the EP launch, one of the most special shows l’ve ever done with a most special band - an honour and a privilege.

Thank you to all hand involved in making the evening as beautiful as it was - those involved and those in attendance.

Does anyone know this song? Because we don’t... Having so much fun playing and rehearsing with my good friend Mishaq! Lucky me! We’re playing a show together with @_lukile_at @the_commons_muizenberg on Sunday with @feedbackfeedbackfeedback . Maybe get a ticket and come hear us play some songs that we do know but maybe you don’t? Okay but seriously, doesn’t anyone know this song? The lyrics are: bah do beep bah doo be doo, I want you to be my baby #360cam #guessthissong #funky! #capetownmusic

Cape Town friends and Cape Town family! I’ll be in town soon and I want to share my songs with you. I’ve teamed up with the good folks from Feedback to bring my specific brand of alternative black music to the city. Please join me for an Alive Performance alongside Luh’ra, at The Commons in Muizenberg on Sunday the 26th of April! This will be my first performance in my birth city, so I’d love to see you there to mark the occasion! Early bird tickets are up in my bio šŸ«¶šŸ½ please buy them! (Accidentally uploaded a JPEG the first time so if you saw this poster yesterday, no you didn’t šŸ«¶šŸ½)

A little bit of a song I am writing for a huge love of my life, Cape Town. Not always the easiest place to be but we have an understanding and we belong together 🄰 #singersongwriter #capetown
