Sengwayo started his singing career at his church when he was nine years old. 'I was supervised by my Sunday school teacher to improve my God-given talent as a singer, so that perhaps one day I would find my purpose for living through art. I also did several performances during Easter.'
He highlighted key achievements in his music career, including receiving an award for the best up-and-coming artist in Barberton in 2020. He also won a R10 000 voucher for taking third place in the amapiano category during a music creative's workshop at the Mbombela Stadium in 2021.
