Sangwani has been singing and writing from a very young age. In fact he wrote his first song when he was only 8 years old. Music also seems to run in his family, Zambian music legend Alick Nkhata was his grandfather.

He has a lot of musical influences including Craig David, Jimmi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson. "I really like 70s music." says Sangwani. "It's really funky and gets you grooving. It's the type of music that people will be listening to for generations to come."

Sangwani comes from Lusaka, Zambia. Back home he has been involved in plays. He also appeared on the TV programme "Tune Into Kids" in 1996. Sangwani has also worked with producers such as TK of Romaside Records. He was also one fifth of the Zambian boyband, Crewzone.

Sangwani moved to the UK in 2002 to study Popular Music and Law on the side. He got involved in the college choir and did shows at various venues. His biggest success after that was taking part in the Phonestarz competition where he won with a convincing 51%.

After that Sangwani got signed to the Independent record label Studio 6 in December 2003. He released his debut EP "Ready 4 This" in March the following year, at the official launch of the label. A guest of honour at the event was the Glastonbury founder, Michael Eavis.

When asked about his hopes and dreams for the future, Sangwani says he has a list of things that he wants to achieve. At the moment he says it would be really cool if his debut EP went gold. He hopes to keep writing and producing.
