Savy was born in Walvis but grew up in Tsumeb. Both artists started their careers at a young age performing at events such as Miss Copper Annual Festival held in Tsumeb.
“Lowtide is our biggest achievement,” said I.K when questioned about the EP Lowtide that has in total three tracks.
“The EP is for good vibes and each track has a different kind of vibe to suit whatever the event is,” said Savy.
The EP was released on 6 September and both the artists are impressed with the responses they have received from fans as expressed by I.K.
“For us, for a new account just getting 600 plays just like that, it’s a blessing and that feeling of when you look at the expression of someone when they listen to your song, it’s amazing. I take it as something huge which is why I will never stop,” they say.
