Hailing from the township of Boitekong, situated in the northern region of Rustenburg, Kagiso, also known as K2G or Gemini, spent his formative years navigating the vibrant community life that shaped his unique perspective on the world. Growing up in a three-room shack alongside his mother and great aunt, Gogo Margaret, Kagiso cherished the simple joys of childhood and formed enduring bonds with friends who would accompany him on his journey through life.
His educational journey began at Boikagong Primary School, where his burgeoning interest in the arts ignited a passion for creative expression. In 2009, a pivotal move to Johannesburg marked a new chapter in Kagiso’s life as he transitioned to Masekhene Higher Primary School. Despite the challenges of adapting to a new environment, he found solace in music and sports, forging connections with peers who shared his love for self-expression and exploration.
Amidst the rhythms of basketball courts and tennis matches, Kagiso discovered his voice as a musician, exploring the realms of acapella and lyrical composition. Influenced by the eclectic sounds of hip-hop artists such as Chris Brown and Kendrick Lamar, he embarked on a journey of artistic discovery, honing his craft and embracing the transformative power of storytelling through music.
Senior years at Thutolore Secondary School marked a period of profound growth for Kagiso, as he delved deeper into the art of songwriting and lyricism. Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of musical influences, including Chris Brown, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and more, he cultivated a distinctive style that captured the essence of his truth and resonated with audiences far and wide.
From the introspective reflections of poetry to the soul-stirring anthems of hip-hop, K2G’s music became a vessel for authentic self-expression, inviting listeners on a journey of introspection and discovery. With influences spanning generations and genres, he aspires to create music that transcends boundaries and unites hearts across the vast spectrum of human experience.
Excitingly, Kagiso is set to drop his first solo project titled “Rap and Blues,” produced by his close friend Lugaffi, on March 1st. This album infuses the two genres, creating a unique blend that promises to take listeners on an out-of-this-world musical journey.
As he continues to carve his path in the world of music, Kagiso, known as K2G or Gemini, extends an invitation to listeners to join him on a mesmerizing journey through the labyrinth of life’s complexities and contradictions. Through the melodies that resonate with the rhythms of collective existence, he seeks to forge connections that transcend language and culture, weaving a tapestry of sound that echoes the echoes of our shared humanity.
