He was the first black artist to perform in the Amsterdam Lido. As he was only 11, he and his grandmother moved to the Netherlands. There he started a career as a dancer. He only discovered his vocal skill when, during one of his gigs, the music suddenly stopped. He took the mic and started singing a capella. This is how his vocalist career started.
