He always adds his traditional flavor into his music, just so that he doesn’t lose his identity. Ever since he started his music career, he got some very good responses from the community even though Nyanga is one of the dangerous Township in South Africa where he grew up and it hurts him seeing people dying but despite all those Challenges which is why he tries to motivate children to get out of that situation. Because “the more you speak positive things, it’s more likely to happen.”

That made him more confident about his work and passionate, he doesn’t let anyone bring him down. Even if somebody doesn’t like his songs there is always somebody that would listen and appreciate his music. E.M.O.W is not a Signed Artist but work with other artist’s in the Industry.
