He was featured by DJSbu on the hit track Qina 2012 Production and since the production of his own Love and Music, a 13 track-album listeners have been going crazy with the tracks YiniftDj Heavy K, CrazyftDj Heavy K and What Have You Done.
“Naakmusiq’s video for his single song Crazy is in the pipeline and Naakmusiq entrusted the role of marketing his brand and his music to Hunnar Management Agency. He was perplexed upon discovering that he has fans also in Zimbabwe,” said Hunnar Management Agency communications manager Kwanele Mpofu.
Mpofu said the young Generations star said he was willing to come for a show in Zimbabwe anytime soon to serenade local revellers and grow his fan base with his soothing vocals on deep and soulful house-music.
The multi-talented actor and singer was born in New Brighton, Port Elizabeth. In 2009 he studied contemporary music at Damelin being taught by the likes of BenjyMudie and RJ Benjamin.
As an aspiring artiste, some of his achievements so far include currently being a cast member at SABC 1 Generations soapie, guest appearance: SABC 1 – Mmino Mania (2011) as a guest singer and presenting roles: SABC 2 – Hectic 9 Nine (2008/9); Pinda Quest with Canadian network called Knight Scove.
