This week Sunday, our friend and 'Maak My Famous' season one winner, Cheswyn Ray, is hosting a live stream concert - like you have never seen before!The 24-year-old 'Maak My Famous' winner rose to national fame in 2019 when he captured the hearts of South African audiences with his mesmerising weekly stage performances during the KykNET reality TV competition. Born in Worcester, he grew up singing along to his favourite gospel artists, often using the vacuum pipe as a mic!

Fast forward to 2020 and this incredible artist has weathered the storms of the industry, not even making it through the audition round of South African Idols, hearing many "no's" before his 'Maak My Famous' debut - and yet he never quit!This weekend, he takes us on that journey with him, opening up about who he really is, his struggles and his triumphs. Coupled with his incredible voice and gospel music, you know you are in for a treat! I got to sit down with him ahead of his show to discuss everything from life to the mean comments on Facebook and more!
