Jungleboi: My breakthrough story

Naitumela Masuku, best known as Jungleboi, is a producer, songwriter and artist who grew up in South Africa. In his interview he tells us about being inspired by his family's musical talents, moving to London as soon as he left school and why he always believed his music could travel.

“I knew absolutely no one at all. That just seemed to stop me from being able to get my career further. I had to start right at the bottom literally.”

For young people who are the first in their family to live in the UK, making connections can feel impossible - whether there’s a language barrier, not much time in the school system, or the mammoth task of getting to know a whole new culture. Having an organisation like Arts Emergency on their side, for advice, support, and resources, can make all the difference between flourishing and sharing their creative voice with their newfound home or being silenced by the increasingly hostile environment. You can #HopeDefiantly and help first generation immigrants and refugees share their talents and enrich our culture.
