Independent music artist and producer Fr3sh Fuego is building his career in the music industry while also investing in initiatives aimed at creating opportunities for young people in Orange Farm. Although Orange Farm is his grandparents’ home, Fr3sh Fuego says he is currently pursuing new ventures in the East Rand. He remains connected to the community and believes in contributing towards improving living conditions in his hometown.
The artist recently took another step in his music journey by registering his own independent record label, Cartboys Studios, which he established last week. The label marks a new chapter in his work as an independent musician and producer. Beyond music, Fr3sh Fuego is also an entrepreneur. He owns Kasi Game Zone, an arcade situated in Extension 2, where young people can spend time playing games and using the latest gaming consoles.
His community involvement also extends to sport. Over the past three months, he has hosted three soccer and netball tournaments, with free entry for participants. Each tournament included R2,000 in prize money as part of his efforts to support and uplift the community. He is also a co-owner of a privately operated security company. Through the business, he and his partners conduct patrols using their own company vehicles and at their own expense, hoping to help reduce crime in the area.
While his immediate focus remains on developing his music career, Fr3sh Fuego says being part of the community means more than pursuing personal success. He wants to use his business interests and available resources to create positive opportunities for others.
