Savage tells Apple Music about Living in South Africa

I was living in Cape Town, I started this clothing brand when I moved to South Africa called Savage Space Couture – we sell clothing, jeans, rugs, t-shirts – and that’s how people knew me in South Africa before music came, so when I put out ‘Confident’ people weren’t really expecting me to come out with this music vibe because they all know me as the fashion guy.

I learned a lot in Cape Town, actually. It inspired me. The nation’s beautiful, it helps creatively. I met amazing people there as well too, that helped my life. There’s some people you meet, where conversations with them that just transform your whole idea about things, so yeah I love Cape Town. It’s my second home.
