Morena the Squire on his music career

Morena Sefatsa is best known as a presenter on the e.tv youth programme, Craz-e. Fast forward to 2017 and he’s now a musician, going by the stage name of Morena the Squire, with a hit single, Faith Alive.

My love for music was always there, but it took me a while to get here because I had to find exactly what I wanted to do. Then I realised that I should just do me.

I initially sang Faith Alive to an acoustic guitar, but Ray, the guitarist, said it would be great with a beat. So we took it to Cuba, the producer, and he worked his magic. So now it’s a dance track.

Switching from presenting to music was a challenge because I approach my music very differently to the way I tackle presenting.

My stage name was taken from the house jam Squire For Hire. I relate to it; it’s all about energy. But building my brand, like every journey, has its ups and downs. Still, it’s been fun as I love performing.
