MANY have known him since 2022, but he's been pushing to get to the top for a decade.
The new age pantsula and amapiano sensation, Toss, real name Pholoso Masombuka, celebrates years of hard work.
The 25-year-old from Tsakani in Ekurhuleni has been pushing to make it in the industry. Toss became popular in 2022 after his hit song and dance challenge Umlando went viral.
He told Daily Sun that amapiano changed his life.
"This genre has impacted my life positively. Now, I can share stages with big names in the industry like Maphorisa and we can put bread on our families' tables. That's how much it has done in my life," he said.
He said he has been able to deal with fame and pressure.
"I think it's good to stay true to who you are. If you are able to do it, you'll be able to detect things that aren't for you and things that are for you. That takes you away from a lot of pressure. If you know what you want, you go for it. Whether someone is saying something about you, it doesn't matter, you keep doing your thing. That's what keeps me stable and balanced," he said.
Toss said family is also important.

He shared his childhood memories.
"When my mom bought me my first soccer boots. That was my biggest highlight in life because I even walked in them in the street. It was special," he said.
He said that he has bigger things in store.
"Global superstar, we are going bigger than Burna Boy. Keep this recording. You will see it," he said.
Toss said fans should look out for his EP which is coming out in a few weeks.
