Joining 959 Breakfast with Dineo Ranaka and Sol Phenduka is the “Tsonga Michael Jackson” Musa Keys.
Musa Keys grew up in Giyani, Limpopo.
“I grew up in church and I was always helping out. Later on, a friend of mine invited me to a band rehearsal and that’s how I realised that for the music to sound the way it sounds – different instruments had to come together.”
Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa inspired Musa Keyes to embrace his uniqueness.
“Kabza and Maphorisa were big inspirations to me because of how they managed to change the game. Knowing that piano wasn’t what it is right now.
I just came to the decision to be myself.”
Listen to Musa Keys on 959 Breakfast with Dineo Ranaka and Sol Phenduka.
Speaking about adjusting to fame, Musa tries not to let it go to his head.
“My superstar button is always off. I can be human.”
He says social media has affected music in a positive and negative way.
“I think it goes both ways, there’s a good and bad side. The bad side is that it can kill songs.
“For example, Tik Tok songs – when you play the full song it’s not as dope because people have popularised it before it even dropped.”
