Born and raised in Sebokeng Zone 7, Vaal Triangle.
I am a photographer, cinematographer, and music composer, working across visual and sound-based storytelling practices. My work is rooted in a deep love for visual arts and collaborative creation.
I enjoy working closely with artists, using image, motion, and sound to tell stories that reflect lived experiences, identity, and place. Alongside my creative practice, I also work as an artist manager, supporting emerging creatives in shaping their careers and navigating the creative industry.
Through my work, I am committed to creating meaningful narratives that highlight local talent, amplify creative voices, and contribute to the evolving cultural landscape of the Vaal.
