ACTOR and musician, Phumlani "Slo'makoya" Mbonane, is chasing some cash.
The Soweto-born musician said he enjoys the best of both worlds.
He told Daily Sun that as long as it puts food on the table, he will never miss a chance to showcase his talents.
"I am a musician and I also act. I was featured in a lot of South African dramas from SABC to DStv. I am also the founder of DANKOMZ clothing brand and even though it is still under shades. Watch the space. My dream has always been to be a musician,” Slo'makoya said.
He said he started making music at a very young age while he was still in church.

"My new music is very dope and has an amapiano vibe, and my new single is titled Isthuthuthu. It's very hot and was produced under Soul4real records, which is owned by Joy Morales," he said.
"Growing up in Jabulani, Soweto taught me a lot. I was inspired by kwaito stars Mdu Masilela, Doc Shebeleza, Mandla Spikiri, and others," he said.
The actor said he thanks God that it is going well for him in acting and as a musician.
"I loved music and my uncles, Dalas and Oupa, also loved music and that kept me going. I realised that I have talent and I can write songs," he said.
Slo'makoya is best known for his roles such as Nonny’s blind date on Muvhango, a delivery guy on Ses'Top La, and a plumber at Lerato and Sechaba’s house on the then SABC3's Isidingo.
The singer said he would like to work with famous artists such as Black Coffee, DJ Kent, Da Capo, Vigro deep, and Oskido.
