<p><strong>Q: Can you tell us more about you as an artist and your background?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>A:</strong> I am a producer, a recording artist, and an aspiring singer/rapper. I come from the north, but grew up in Phikwe, Gaborone and Francistown. Music has always been a meaningful part of my life, although I was not very good at it. It took a lot of time and practice for me to be able to make bearable music. I am still in a journey of self-discovery and improvement whilst enjoying the process.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>A:</strong> We had different visions, missions that we could not combine and work with to push the group forward, which left it in a stagnant state. There was no common ground to work on and therefore we decided to pursue different paths.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Q: Do you think it will be any different being solo?</strong></p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Q: How have your fans reacted to your parting ways with the group?</strong></p>
