I am not the same person I was 3 years ago. My perspective on life has been rocked by so many things I have seen, heard and read. Every area of my life has been crushed and rebuilt for the better.
Every now and then I get into convo’s with people who remember the old me or people who are happy living oblivious to the obvious worldview that is pumped to us from legalists, nominal Christians and the carnally minded.

Happy New Year to all you Non Conformers! I recorded a short video blog where I share my thoughts on how I found 2010. I speak about my battles with legalism, my views on what success looks like, advice to new artists and more. I hope you find my thoughts helpful as you prepare your goals for 2011. I will have more blogs coming this year...

Sunday afternoon I got a call from my friend Daniel who was so touched by the Gospel message he heard at his church that he felt compelled to buy a mega phone and share it with the rest of the world. He told me he would be in Piccadilly Circus and he would like me to join him.

Born and raised in Zimbabwe
I knew God existed but never factored him much in my day to day life, you could say I was religious but did not have a personal conviction about God. My parents split when I was three but they still continued to take care of my brother and I. We would get the latest clothes and toys so you could say we had everything a child desired. My brother and I were well known in school because of my Dads profession as a radio and TV personality which meant genuine friendships where hard to come by. I remember being told about Jesus back in school but responded saying "I don't think I need Jesus in my life".
The British Dream
We were heavily influenced by British and American culture primarily through MTV, BET and other media programmes. I heard how great england was and had the opportunity to visit every summer holiday so I had a taste of the life there and could not wait to move to England. I got into music in my last year of school, my friend Ian and I put out a song which got airplay on national radio, we even managed to get a spot at a Channel O festival. So we had our sights set on fame but it would seem the lord had other plans for me, I moved to London in 2001 where I studied media production. During my time in college I was one of the top students in my class, student union president and pursuing a "promising" career in music but hollow inside.
