His mother reunited with his father, whom she met while putting herself through college at Atlanta's AU Center. Having to return to her native country to care for her family, she also gave birth to Muzi. In an effort to become an official citizen of the United States, his father passed on his American name, and Muzi became Billy-Ray Little Jr. While growing up in the SWATS, Billy-Ray discovered his passion for music by listening to the tunes of all genres, including country, dub-step, hip hop artists such as Bone-Thugs-N'-Harmony and hometown idols Outkast. He and a few high school friends formed an a capella group, singing the likes of Boyz II Men covers at open mics and talent shows. They naturally progressed into writing and recording original songs, ultimately becoming a songwriting team. They signed a deal with RCAM, alongside label-mates The Indigo Girls, and continued writing for various producers, such as The Underdogs. Billy-Ray then garnered his first major placements with title tracks on several 2010 releases. After this endeavor Muzi began his solo career along side beatsmith Shoden!1 and Somnolence was then set in motion.

Daylight

Ngithathe ungibeke lapho ngifuna ukuya khona
I know it's warm in the daylight
Ngithathe ungibeke lapho ngifuna ukuya khona
I know it's warm in the daylight

Daylight

Lead me on to the daylight
I know it's warm in the daylight
Sun through the clouds it's a daylight
Konke kumnandi kune langa

Lead me on to the daylight
I know it's warm in the daylight
Sun through the clouds it's a daylight
Konke kumnandi kune langa

Daylight

Lead me on to the daylight
I know it's warm in the daylight
Sun through the clouds it's a daylight
Konke kumnandi kune langa

Lead me on to the daylight
I know it's warm in the daylight
Sun through the clouds it's a daylight
Konke kumnandi kune langa

Daylight

I know it's warm in the daylight

Daylight

Ngithathe ungibeke lapho ngifuna ukuya khona
Ngithathe ungibeke lapho ngifuna ukuya khona
Ngithathe ungibeke lapho ngifuna ukuya khona
Ngithathe, Ngithathe ungibeke lapho ngifuna ukuya khona

Lead me on to the daylight
I know it's warm in the daylight
Sun through the clouds it's a daylight
Konke kumnandi kune langa

Lead me on to the daylight
I know it's warm in the daylight
Sun through the clouds it's a daylight
Konke kumnandi kune langa

Daylight

Lead me on to the daylight
I know it's warm in the daylight
Sun through the clouds it's a daylight
Konke kumnandi kune langa

Daylight

I know it's warm in the daylight

Daylight
