Master KG Early Life, Education, and Career
Music is a great way to connect with people across the world. The creation and distribution of it is another whole different world that requires loads of work. Master KG’s life is one that revolves around doing this kind of work and he started in his tender years. As a child, he got a gift from his uncle who unfortunately passed on. The gift was a computer which he used to start learning a few things.
While most kids would use computers to play games or to do other things that would be deemed as leisurely, Master KG started lending how to create beats. For a teenager of the age of thirteen, he started working on his craft in his formative years and this was important for his later career. He also got a decent education alongside his interests to complement all that he wanted to do. It goes without saying that he had otherwise very supportive parents who saw him start his craft from a tender age.
From the village boy who grew up in Limpopo, great things were ahead of him and he did not know what extent his achievements would go. He started off officially in 2016 where he released his first piece of art. Before that he worked with other DJs who introduced him to equipment that was to be used in the craft.
He was not all clueless. While he is currently known for his Jerusalema hit that traversed the whole world, a lot of work went into it before he became a star. Since then, he has worked with great artists like Burna Boy and David Guetta.
