ALL Lesgo966 wanted was to share his music online after struggling in the industry for years.
But little did he know that he would start something that would be loved by Mzansi.
Keaoleboga Sebalo, who is popularly known as Lesgo966 on social media, makes people laugh with his hilarious videos on TikTok.
The funnyman was born in a small town called Jan Kempdorp in the Northern Cape and said he was known as a funny and musical person in his family.
“I moved to Gauteng in 2015 to further my studies and to pursue my music career. I studied journalism and theatre, then I started chasing my music career,” he said.
He said it has been a bumpy journey due lack of money.

“I tried a lot of ways to get my music out there but due to financial difficulties, things kept delaying,” he said.
He said one morning he thought of doing something new and he was shocked when people loved it.
“I thought of trying out something different to push my music abilities on TikTok.
“My content blew within a month and few weeks with total of 200K+ followers. I thought to myself in I needed to keep it going because people really fell in love with it,” he said.
He said the positive response from people has kept him going.
“The support made me realise that many people are facing a lot of stress and I am happy to be healing them after they watch my videos,” he said.
He said his content is inspired by comedy shows and YouTube dubbed videos.
“What fascinates me a lot is the voice-overs I see on animations and how amazing it is to see a character so funny being created through a voice. Also, silence is my interpretation because every video I do it starts in a mute mode that enables me to create my thoughts using my voice,” he said.
He said nobody knows the face behind the videos.
