‘Dagrin has influenced me a lot through his humility and hardwork. He’s someone I picked a word from and asked why he was using it, everytime he sings he goes, ‘Ahhh!!!’ and he says the grace of God amazes him so everytime he goes, ‘Ahh!!!,’ because he can tell where he was and that’s why he said, ‘We know what it was and we know what it is.’ You know that where he was coming from, it’s something that only a miracle could have done…..Like I say, Dagrin came into this industry and made a sentence that will last a lifetime.’ ——– Ali Baba 

‘He’s incredibly humble and sweet. I was speaking to him one day that I couldn’t sleep with the gen because there was no fuel and I was amazed that he turned up with a 25litre keg and I always say I will pay him back….
