“I’ve been in the music industry for 15 years. Through all these years, I’ve learnt a lot and social media has always been one of my strongest attributes. It elevated me from one level to a much better one, which I am grateful for. When the numbers grew drastically on TikTok and Instagram, the team and I were actually in shock, but we also took it as a breakthrough we needed for growth,” he said.
The DJ, from Hammanskraal in Tshwane, thanked South Africans for supporting his music.
“When Trigger was released, like any other artist I had hopes that it would take over the world and put us on a new level, which is exactly what happened. It was amazing how local artists, supporters and the rest of the world supported us by joining in the challenge, created by social media influencer Victor. We are blessed, and numbers don’t lie,” he said.
