Some music lovers will recognize him as the unmasked face that sang alongside Mzekezeke. He appeared with the masked man on his double platinum debut album when he performed the title track "Sguqa Ngamadolo " in 2002.
Against all expectations in the music industry, where the album was dismissed as nonsense and hogwash by some music critics, it went on to sell over 100,000 copies. Actually, the album outsold countless albums by respected artists. Another achievement was when it was nominated as the best kwaito album at the 9th South African Music Awards (SAMA)
Before that, Brown Dash played a leading role in award-winning album Izinja by Mapaputsi. —Courtesy Calabash Music
