With their 2020 visions on most people's minds as the year draws to a close, Prince Kaybee shared that he plans to dominate the international market with his music.

Kaybee has been making waves in the music industry in 2019 after releasing his album Re Mmino and the EP Crossover.

After all the success and incredible song streams he has had this year, Kaybee told TshisaLIVE during a sit-down interview that he wants to familiarise himself with the overseas market.

Just like the name of his EP, it would literally mean he would have to “cross over” to suss out what is trending over the shores, and learn the sounds that are making all kinds of vibes outside the borders of SA.

“Crossing over meanyou have to go out of the country with your own money and listen to what's trending out there, so we did just that with the EP, or at least I think so. We'll see what the people say.”

As he aspires to dominate the international market, Kaybee differentiated between the audience in SA and abroad.

“The audience is pretty much the same, but South Africans are very rhythmic. They dance a lot, they are very hypey. They are people that really hype a lot. A bit of me doesn't like that. An artist should solely be credited for the work and not for anything beside the work."

Kaybee said the overseas market is very finicky and listens attentively to artists.

“Overseas, it's all about being as good as your last show. You are as good as your last song and interview. Whatever sh*t you say in your last interview will reflect on the next one. They literally rely on you as an artist. The audience will be looking at you and 15 minutes into your set, it's either you lose them on the dance floor or you have them intact.”
