Before getting into radio, I was an au pair, a waitress, and even a clown at a kids party, and might I add that I was quite a funny clown. I'll keep those photos away for another day.

Mi Casa's J'Something has taken a bit of time out of his busy schedule to open up about his life before being in the spotlight. Taking to his Instagram account, he shared his incredible journey of how a cousin of his broke him into the music business eight years ago. It wasn't always easy for him, he had to start off as a studio cleaner, and even set the studio up for some of the biggest names in the business. His message of gratitude left me beaming.

Fast forward to eight years on, J'Something is part of one of the hottest South African bands and has gone on to release some of the catchiest tunes ever. In addition to that, he also went on to explore his passion for cooking and opened his very own restaurant. Gosh, can this man have any more passion?!

I have always admired how humble and kind J'Something is. Started from the bottom, now he's here. Keep on shining, J man! 

Let me share a story with you. 8 years ago I was introduced to a cousin of mine (the short handsome fella standing next to me in this picture) ... he was in the music business so my family obviously reached out to him and guilt tripped him into at least listening to my music. At the time I was doing gospel acoustic music that really wasn’t any good ... he listened and tried to help but it really wasn’t his forté and if I am brutally honest I just wasn’t good enough at the time. Time went by, I finished my BComm degree in Business Science and once I finished the degree he invited me to Joburg to try and “make a plan” ... I guarantee you that the ambition of trying to get me a job had nothing to do with music. I ended up managing a studio and cleaning the studio rooms and setting them up for the big stars that walked through the doors (people like Hugh Masekela, Joyous, Brian Temba, Jamali, Sipho Hotstix, etc) ... I did that job with such passion and commitment, honored to be in the presence of all these stars! Fast forward cuz @stooooooge look at us man ... backstage of the biggest Jazz festival in the continent headlining and filling up the biggest stage! Thank you for opening the door for me ... thank you for offering me your couch for so long and helping me buy my first car (A pimping Tazz) and so much more! Let’s continue dreaming ... 👊 📸 by @kgabolegora
