As a solo performer, he has competed and won the honour of representing his continent
overseas at the World Hip Hop Dance Championships, held in the United States. He is
currently rated as one the best Poppers in Southern Africa and he has had offers to compete
on a global scale at the World Dance Circuit Championships held Germany and Poland.
Unfortunately, due to having to complete his Bachelor of the Arts Honors in Brand Innovation
and Communication Management, he has opted not to compete as a combined measure
to also focus more on his own projects.
With his debut single 10111 Thai aims to set a standard and a president for his work to come.
Thai not only composed, produced and co-wrote the song he also conceptualized,
produced and codirected the Video, indicative of his very hands on approach to all his
work. Demanding only the best Thai and an all student crew filmed at the internationally
recognised Panalux Studio’s with this Thai is also the first Urban Pop act to shoot on the
Redone Mysterium X and to have his video shot in full HD.
