The multi-talented young man is also passionate about sports, gaming and reading books.

He believes knowledge is key and elementary to his future success as a musician.

He got his talent for music from his late father who was also a musician and a guitarist.

In Grade Two he joined a choir, but it was later during his high school years that he would invest more time into his music.

“In 2015 I started to write lyrics. It was therapeutic because I would write down how I feel at that moment.”

Dazza is an artistic person, expressing his talent through drawing, cooking and singing.

He hopes to start his own music record label in future.

“Having a studio will help me nurture young artists.

“Raw talent deserves to be given studio time most of us never had. An artist needs studio time like a fish needs water to survive.

“We need to get comfortable at the studio and develop our craft to express ourselves to the utmost level.

“I am working on clearing my vocals because I rap and sing. When I record I can still hear cracks in my voice. I am also working on getting my own equipment.”

After performing at the Kloppies Flea Market in June, he released two songs to be enjoyed by online audiences.
Dazza is also a talented sportsman.

“I played soccer and took part in athletics. I started playing rugby in high school,” said Dazza.

He enjoys listening to Nasty C and Blxckie and described himself as a down-to-earth person.
