His father, a guitarist and producer of the Reggae band “The Foreigners Crew”, made sure he was immersed into music as a child. So he played keys and ended up singing a few songs for the band.

After studying Music Production and Theory, Classical Piano, Percussion and Vocals at CYM (Centre for Young Musicians), working closely with fellow rapper Incisive, he released his first EP entitled Foolishness Vol.1, and The Shakka Crown Affair, his widely received Concept Mixtape taking influence from The Thomas Crown Affair, where he experiments with Hip-Hop, Jazz, Indie Rock, and Electronic music.

Alongside his latest Shakkapella video-series, where he covers popular songs recreating the music in a beat-box fashion, he is promoting his Mixtape and other songs at shows across the UK (Loughborough, Lincoln, and Brighton to name a few).

@The Straight Shooter He said 'true history' and 'by his people' ;that 80s production was neither of the two.

@The Straight Shooter It wasn't accurate considering that it was narrated by the Whites. Even Shaka on that series was speaking English, imagine🤦🏾

FYI: There was a Shaka Zulu mini series in 80s that played on TV. I’m not sure how historically accurate it was but it happened.

I wish they can turn this to a proper long series, allowing Season 1 to be more political stories, plots and the growth of shaka as boy to man then Season 2 should be the greatness of shaka including uniting with other tribes and starting of European invasions, then season 3 is the falling of Shaka, with 10 episodes per season. You'll the impact it will into world classic series. Please don't rush the plot

wanda makehleni

They should conclude with Cetyawo as he was great too, the last of the true reigning and ruling Zulu Monarch

Are you a script writer😂

@G. Mkhize What are you talking about?

This will be available for African continent only,Mzansi magic channel 161 is the channel on DSTV.I was hoping Netflix would pick this, so that people outside the continent could watch but they haven't said anything this series is almost about to drop.

Let's Fix at least one thing in these movies, the accents when African languages are being used. If you want to use Zulu or Xhosa hire a Zulu speaking or Xhosa speaking actresses or actor or otherwise don't bother... And just use English. We Africans generally we understand English😜😉😂

But that should be the otger way round because King Shaka's story predates Black Panther.

why does 2023 feel like its a decade away🤦🏾

@mabhodlela JJ Ngalinge undiphaphele please read what I said before besiscefe,I said the American version will suck because 1 the lead which is Shaka will have an horrible accent,just like Senegalese french actress who play Nandi will suck.I didn't say anything about movie changing or subtitles so don't bore.The American version of Shaka will in english surely, that's not an problem my problem is the choice of actors they pick for uShaka.Charles doesn't even look like Shaka,same as Aigaa have not to mention their acting whew subpar at it's best that's why it will suck.Another 🚩the writers are Nigerians about a South African story?If that doesn't tell you anything about American version of Shaka,then I don't know what to tell you think we're waiting for authentic Shaka ilembe not udoti.
