Keenan Fredericks rymklets al sedert hy 14 jaar oud is en hierdie rymklets-avontuur het eintlik heel per toeval begin. Op daardie ouderdom moes hy \u2019n liedjie vir sy kuns- en kultuurklas skryf. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy nefie-hulle het altyd rap-musiek gespeel en ek was altyd by hulle. Toe moes ek eendag \u2019n song<\/i> vir ons kuns-en kultuurklas by die skool skryf. Dit was vir my baie interessant om te sien wat die hele proses behels om \u2019n liedjie te skryf en op te neem,\u201d verduidelik Fredricks, ook bekend as K999.<\/p>\n
Later was hy en Brandon Nichols, ook in die kuns- en kultuurklas, saam in \u2019n sokkerspan en hy nooi toe vir K999 om deel te wees van sy rymklets-groep.<\/p>\n
Een van die vereistes van die groep is dat elke lid sy of haar eie liedjies moet skryf.<\/p>\n
Toe hy in matriek was, het die groep uiteen gegaan, maar hulle het rymklets \u2019n paar jaar later hervat. Hulle is nou nog saam en staan bekend as Nu Vader.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk dink ek was 15 jaar oud toe ek my eie liedjies begin skryf het, en ek was in matriek toe die groep uitmekaar is.\u201d<\/p>\n
As \u2019n mens vinnig kyk, lyk hierdie bedeesde rymkletser jonger as wat hy is, en as jy \u201cte vinnig\u201d luister, mis jy dalk die diepte van woorde. <\/p>\n
Hy meen sy skryfstyl het oor die jare baie verander.<\/p>\n
\u201cToe ek jonger was, het ek baie vanuit \u2019n plek van hartseer en woede geskryf, maar noudat ek ouer is en \u2019n pa ook is, vind ek ek skryf ook nou baie vanuit \u2019n plek van gelukkigheid \u2013 die lewe om my, wat ek raaksien, die lesse wat ek leer en my kinders inspireer my veral.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hy meen skryf is ook soms baie terapeuties vir hom.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk sal soms iets skryf en dan neem ek dit nie eens op nie \u2013 ek vergeet daarvan. Dis omdat ek soms ook net skryf om dinge uit te kry en deur dit te werk, en as ek klaar geskryf het, voel ek beter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hoewel hy Afrikaans grootgeword het, verkies Keenan om in Engels te skryf. Hy verkies ook om sy stukke met \u2019n pen in \u2019n boek te skryf \u2013 dit gee hom meer beheer oor hoe dinge inmekaar gaan inpas, s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n
\u201cAan die begin was dit vir my \u2019n challenge<\/i> om in Engels te skryf, omdat ek Afrikaans grootgeword het. Wanneer ek in Engels skryf, moet ek my mindset<\/i> s\u00f3 verander sodat die Engelse lirieke saam kan sin maak \u2013 veral wanneer die musiek bykom. Dit is \u2019n uitdaging, maar gelukkig geniet ek dit om myself uit te daag,\u201d s\u00ea Fredericks.<\/p>\n
Hy skryf maar soos die inspirasie en woorde hom tref en soms sit hy musiek op en freestyle<\/i>, en op hierdie manier kry hy ook nuwe idees.<\/p>\n
Sy planne vir die toekoms sluit in \u2019n klerereeks en gewis steeds musiek.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn hierdie stadium fokus ek grotendeels op die klerereeks. Dit is nogal \u2019n passie van my. In die toekoms wil ek steeds betrokke wees by musiek, maar eerder in die agtergrond. Ek wil nie ophou om die jong manne en -vroue te inspireer nie.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
