Catch the full journey in the vlog and see why this trail deserves a spot on your Cape Town bucket list.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone, Let me take a moment to share what’s been going on behind the scenes. The journey has been longer than expected so I appreciate you sticking with me. Music is deeply personal to me and I want to give you something meaningful. Something that truly reflects where I am in life. There have been tons of delays. Some songs were even taken down, which was a tough decision but I’m still striving for better. I’ve been working on new music, pushing myself creatively and growing in ways I never expected. Right now, I’m also going to school to improve my piano skills. Music is a lifelong journey and I want to keep getting better for myself and for you. My hope and prayer is to release an EP by the end of the year. That’s the goal and I’m doing everything I can to make it happen. In the meantime, I just want to say thank you for your patience, your support and your belief in me. It means everything. I can’t wait to share what’s next. Much love!

Discover Sandy Bay - The Trail Series

Image
In this new episode, I take you along the stunning Sandy Bay trail in Cape Town. From jaw-dropping ocean views to the haunting remains of the BOS 400 shipwreck, this hike is packed with unforgettable sights. We also pass the secluded Sandy Bay beach and come across some giant snails along the way. Nature, mystery, and coastal vibes—this one's got it all. Tap in and take the trail with me!
 Another season in the books—and while it wasn't what we dreamed of, it was a disappointingly solid one. A Champions League semifinal run, another top-four finish and Champions League football secured for next year. But still… no trophy. Sad to see a few players likely moving on but change is part of the game. Martin Zubimendi is on the way, maybe even Viktor Gyökeres? Also someone please start the Martinelli-as-striker petition. Love Trossard, but Martinelli’s pace and movement as an inside forward makes more sense—he needs to be getting in behind.  Injuries were slightly better managed this season, but the record is still poor. You really wonder how players recover with the packed schedule especially with so many playing international football. Despite the ups and downs, I’m hopeful. Praying we bring some silverware home next season. This team isn’t far off.

Explore Lion's Head - The Trail Series

In this episode of The Trail Series , we take on Lion’s Head—the most famous trail in Cape Town. Known for its panoramic views of the city, ocean, and Table Mountain, this hike is perfect for beginners looking for a rewarding adventure. Whether you're planning your first hike or just want to enjoy the scenery, this trail never disappoints. Check out the full journey now on my channel!
There's so much to smile about after that first leg against Real Madrid. Declan Rice putting in work on set pieces—who saw those free kicks coming? Saka and Merino ran the show, and Myles Lewis-Skelly looked like a star in the making. Madrid didn’t seem at their best but you can never count them out. A remontada is always in their DNA. The second leg won’t be a walk in the park. Fingers crossed Ben White is fit—could be key if Kiwior struggles or if Timber needs cover. Arteta’s tactics were sharp and the squad’s energy was on point. Still, Madrid at the Bernabéu is a different beast. The team needs to stay focused and keep the intensity up. Exciting times. Let’s see how this story unfolds.

Arsenal’s Mid-Season Analysis: What’s Next?

As an Arsenal fan, I’ll admit it’s been an interesting season so far. Sitting 2nd in the Premier League is an achievement, but honestly, it’s a bit nerve-wracking. Are we really strong enough to hold onto this position, or are we just scraping by? The uncertainty is frustrating, and as a fan, it’s hard not to feel the pressure mounting. The football we’re playing right now isn’t the kind of dominant style you’d expect from title challengers. It feels like Mikel Arteta’s priority is just getting us across the finish line, even if that means sacrificing some of the beautiful game. Liverpool are a step ahead of us, and to add salt to the wound, we’re currently level on points with Nottingham Forest. Can you believe it? Nottingham Forest! It’s a bitter pill to swallow and a stark reminder that something needs to change—and fast. Let that sink in. Still, there’s hope. With the right reinforcements, Arsenal could ignite a spark and revive the fluid, attacking football that makes us proud to ...

Loaded Lux v Rum Nitty at NOME 14: A Classic Battle

The battle between Loaded Lux and Rum Nitty at NOME 14 was nothing short of a classic. From start to finish Lux made it look easy, sweeping Nitty 3-0 in what was truly a masterclass in battle rap. His performance was smooth, ruthless and precise, proving that he’s aging like fine wine. Nitty put up a fight, but Lux was on another level this time. Shoutout to Smack and URL for uploading this battle – it’s a huge gift for fans like me. As someone who’s been a huge supporter of the international Battle Rap scene, I thought I’d never get to see this event until I made enough money to pay for the app. Now that it’s available, I’m grateful.  The growth and progression of the Battle Rap movement are undeniable and I’m here for all of it. This battle is a reminder of the strength and depth of the culture. Who else caught this battle? What were your thoughts? Talk to me in the comments! LUX V NITTY

The journey through Batman: Arkham City continues in my latest ASMR video, where we’re taking on the Penguin! This part was filled with challenges—I faced plenty of obstacles and you’ll catch some light frustration and a bit of venting after each failed attempt. I’ve put together an hour-long video packed with edits to keep the action flowing, even with some imperfect camera angles (I’m working on improving that for next time!). If you enjoy a mix of intense gameplay and calming ASMR, tune in and watch me struggle and triumph as the Dark Knight.

 In my latest ASMR video, I’m taking it outside for a casual football session in the park. It’s a quiet, breezy day, perfect for some low-key footwork—though I’ll admit, I’m feeling a bit rusty. You’ll hear the heavy, familiar sound of the ball as I work through some touches and basics. The park was active with people strolling by, so there’s a touch of ambient background noise adding to the natural feel of the setting. If you enjoy outdoor ASMR or just want a calming atmosphere with football sounds, I think you’ll enjoy this one. Sometimes, it’s nice to keep things relaxed and imperfect. Check it out on my channel for a tranquil, no-pressure session.

I’ve finally recorded an ASMR video I’ve been wanting to do for a long time—playing Batman: Arkham City on my PS3! At 50 minutes, it’s my longest video yet. It was recorded on a warm, sunny Saturday in Cape Town with minimal wind and a peaceful atmosphere outside. You’ll hear subtle sounds of kids playing, cars driving by and the occasional loud music from my neighbors, all adding to the immersive ASMR experience. The gameplay was recorded on my camera, as I don’t have a game capture device so you’ll experience the raw footage with some extra ambient noise. You’ll hear the soft clicks of the PS3 controller throughout creating a calming ASMR effect. My commentary alternates between whispering and soft-spoken, adding to the relaxation as I navigate Gotham City. You’ll notice that about halfway through, I messed up the left analog stick on my controller, which made navigating a bit tricky but it adds an authentic and spontaneous element to the video. If you enjoy gaming and ASMR, this vid...

 The 4th and final installment of my ASMR football warm-up series is out now! This video, which runs for 21 minutes, dives deeper into refining the same skills I’ve been honing throughout—ball control, juggling, and smooth movements. Unlike previous videos, this one has a more subdued vibe, as it was filmed on a very cold and windy day in Cape Town. The weather definitely took a toll on my energy levels, making this installment less enthusiastic and more reflective. Despite the chill, the goal remained the same: to keep improving and refining my technique. Every touch and juggle in the video is aimed at precision, making it a calming yet intentional experience for ASMR fans and football enthusiasts alike. And for those who notice details, I’m also sporting a fresh new haircut for this video! With this video, I’ll be taking a break from ASMR content to focus fully on my music. This series has been a unique creative outlet but now I’m ready to channel that energy into new musical pro...

The third installment of my football warm-up series is here, and it's packed with skill, flair and even more energy! It was a beautiful, yet windy day outside but that didn't stop me from feeling comfortable on the ball. You’ll notice my movements are more confident, and the session is much longer, clocking in at 21 minutes. This video is also filled with satisfying ASMR triggers, from the sound of the wind to the ball's interaction with the grass. Perfect for football fans and ASMR enthusiasts alike!
