JAMMING WITH AN IDOL (NOT AS SEEN ON TV)

FETISH, MY FAVOURITE SA BAND OF ALL TIME, EVER

Having unplugged their late 90s brand of musical genius from the SA scene well over a decade ago, I didn’t think I’d ever get the chance to see my favourite SA band perform ever again, let alone find myself sharing a stage with them.

Last year, however, they reformed to record a beautiful new album called “Little Heart”, did a whirlwind tour that I had the beaming pleasure of witnessing. This month they were back for another SA tour and invited yours truly to perform a set at their Durban show. AND… as if sharing a stage with one of my idols wasn’t enough, I also did guest vocals for one of the tracks off their new album. Maximum Awesome.

I get to do some crazy cool things with some crazy cool people. Meeting an idol whose music inspired me growing up and is engraved into my essence… that’s definitely one for the books, and this will go down as one of my favourite moments of this crazy dream that I get to call my life.
