What is particularly outstanding about this 25 year old is that he has learnt a very important aspect in life which is working hard. During the day Freddie pushes his passion which is radio and the media industry as a whole and in the evenings he works in the hospitality sector as a waiter. I asked him how he juggles everything and he said "when you know where you come from you are able to adapt to anything life in order to survive' One mistake many hustlers make is wanting to wait for the perfect big break in order for them to start making ends meet. However Freddie demystifies that notion in saying that passion must always find you at the point of hard work.

Freedie has ben nominated as the influencer of the year in the Citiawards for 2021.  He says looking beyond 2021 he see's himself diversifying his career and moving to the production side of things. So you want and love the 'soft life' as Freddie Gee does, learn from him . Soft life is not over night, and success is fueled by hard work. As Joburg Post today we view Freddie as an out standing citizen.
