F. INTERESTS
As a musician, my first interest lies in my passion for music, therefore, in singing, emceeing, playing my
Bass guitar. Also, being a writer, I tend to get lost in writing my rhymes, songs, poems or simply prose as an attempt to make sense of the day to day hustle.
G. PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
I am an open-minded individual, and am always intrigued by the new. I am a fast learner and a hard worker, which is a good combination as I feel I can be plunged into deep waters in any given situation and I will come out triumphant. I am confident and can communicate my feelings adeptly. I am also a team player, but at the same time feel very much at home being left alone to get on with any given task.
I anticipate your response.
