You shot to local stardom with ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ now on at Pieter Toerien’s Theatre at Montecasino ‘Cooler As Ekke’ more than five years ago. How has life changed for you since that moment? It’s been a crazy ride and it just gets more and more hectic by the day. I think one of the main things is just having to look at my music as a business as well. That has been the most difficult part, because I love the creative part of it, and I’m really bad at the other part. But if you don’t look after both it can bite you in the bum...hard.

‘Cooler As Ekke’ felt as if it came out of nowhere. Was that really the case? How long were you plugging away before that song exploded? Jeez, very long. I started writing in 1998 and plugged pretty much since then. ‘Cooler As Ekke’ blew up in 2009, I think. So that’s a good 11 years of hard plugging and pushing before anything came from it.
