Who or what got Kay E into music?
I grew up in a shebeen/tarven. My Gran owns one. I guess that's where the music bug hit me
How is the response from family and friends towards your music career?
My family and friends have been supportive from day. Even though my Grandmother was disappointed that i quit my 9 to 5 job and took up music as my full time career
You have a huge and awesome history from way back, you had the hits like “Bona retsang” that made the whole of South Africa to dance, how has the journey been until now?
Firstly, I am so honoured to have been part of an era that came with a sound that gave South African Hip Hop its identity. The journey has been fun I should say, even though it's difficult being an independent artist.
Was the hit “Bona retsang” the one that opened doors for you in the hip hop industry or there was already a platform or something that had your name in shining lights?
Yes of coz. Almost everyone that know me it is because of BONA RETSANG. Even when i make newer, better songs, they'd still refer to BONA RETSANG
Who are the great people or organisations have you worked with in the music industry?
Zola 7, Pro, Jub Jub, Red Button, Emtee, Maraza just to name a few
