I love seeing how happy this song makes other people feel.

Outside of making music, Dodo is an enigma!
While chatting to Martin and the team, he shared that he is a big advocate for animal conservation. He will do his part to help organisations who need it, but more shocking is his own pets.
He casually mentioned that he has a wolf who sleeps on his bed, like a dog.
She hasn't eaten me alive just yet.

He also spoke about his interesting and tough past.
Having to flee from war-torn African countries with his family, he grew up in the Eastern Cape and went through many struggles.
While at school, he had a stutter and was bullied because of it. After discovering music, he realised that people weren't laughing at him when he sang.
No matter how rough things got, music helped him through it.
Dodo joined the Breakfast with Martin Bester team to perform a very special Friday Live.
