Celeb Savant, Barret Edelstein, sat down live in the studio with South African Afro Jazz artist Phila Dlozi, and his manager, Kudzai Mureriwa. Phila tells us how he led a teen gospel a cappella choir in his youth, but decided to leave and forge his own path in music by busking on the train to and in Durban. We also hear how he was introduced to the djembe drum, and motivated to pursue his dream of music.
