MEN GAMES • With a myriad of openly LGBTQ+ artists in the music industry lately, it is often daunting to sift the brilliant from the average and the just downright terrible.

The FARM BOY who always wanted MORE • Growing up rural had its perks. We never understood pretence, and in all honesty, it was the sheer freedom to be a child that will always stay with me. I often look back to these days in Hertzhogville in the Free State with fondness. Although our family farm will always be a critical part of my story, it wasn’t big enough for me. I’ve always wanted more from life.
