Lionhearted Genius follows in father�s footsteps

 Being the son of a legend has not assured 29-year-old Genius of success in the music industry. After eight years on the jazz music scene, the singer-cum-poet is yet to lay claim to music stardom.  But like the lion cub lost to its mother’s comfort and protection, he bravely predicts a bright future.

“People often compare me with my father.  They expect me to be like him or do things his way, but carrying his genes does not mean we are exactly the same.  I have to find my own path to the top and I am going to do that,” he told Arts & Culture at Millennium Restaurant on Saturday where he played at Shumba Ratshega’s Leso La Monnamogolo DVD launch.
