His career began along with the popularity of his brother's reign into kwaito music and released his self-titled album in 1995 through his brother's label 999 Music. His song "Makhendlas", which is trademarked after himself, rose audiences in kwaito.

He died in 1998 by a self-inflicted gunshot after an altercation with an intoxicated fan at a concert, whom he shot and assumed to have killed.
