Kirwin’s singing career began in Durban with the formation of the R&B group “Cra-Z-Love”. It was here that he developed his singing and song-writing skills, and the group’s many live performances were where he honed his engaging stage presence.

Moving to Joburg to begin his solo quest, Kirwin met the rapper Obita, who worked with him to develop his hip-hop skills. It was here that Kirwin began making beats and producing tracks for Obita and other rappers; they performed at various shows in and around the Johannesburg area. Kirwin has since then gone on to collaborate and feature with a host of talented local artists, including producer Paul Stainbank; East Coast Radio’s DJ Trevor Williams; singer Denise Ontong; the rapper Young Soulja; singer/rapper Loki; and many others.
