Over the years he has toured with the industries luminaries such as Sibongile Khumalo ,Hugh Masekela ,Busi Mhlongo, Madala Kunene and Thandiswa Mazwai.

The BandaBanda&TheCrocodiles Project came about as a concept of collaboration and cultural exchange with celebrated, versatile musicians from different parts of the world. Incorporating the colourful overtones of world music, popular music, jazz and traditional folk we have an intensely hued experience to salivate on.

As one who is outspoken about being African, he dedicates his sound as an African voice to be heard universally. With the diverse influences of different cultures and backgrounds we can expect to be moved in identity, storytelling and a transcendent musical journey.
