SA PROMO Magazine caught up with Chad ahead of his shows and found out a few things about this 26 year old’s dreams, passions and beginnings in music.
Where are you from?
I was born in Mowbray in Cape Town and lived in Mitchell’s Plain for the first three years of my life before living in Crawford til I was 21.
What is your passion?
Song writing, performance and productions directing.
What do you love most of what you do?
The response of the audience! I love the vibe I get from their happy joyful faces and to see how they love my music!
How did you discover your talent of singing?
I started singing at the age of 16. My first time singing on a stage was at a school Valentine’s function. The audience loved me so much wanted more. I never looked back!
What were you like in school?
I was quite shy. I start writing puppet shows, like little productions and concerts, from the age of seven at primary school. I also wrote poetry.
Who writes your songs?
I write all my own stuff.
What instruments do you play?
Guitar and piano (self-taught and I compose)
What did you dream of becoming when you were little?
My dream was always to become a world star in soccer! I was always in the first team at school. When I got older, I had to make a decision between music and sport… I chose what is my passion!
Best year in your life so far?
2005 when I stayed in Spain. This was my first real public performances and an introduction into the entertainment world!
