Joseph Morris was born in Palapye, Botswana in 1966.[ citation needed] His interest in music started early, playing the drums by the age of 8, later on guitar at 12, subsequently keyboards and piano at 14.[ citation needed] He currently owns a home recording studio (Drum Boy Recording Studio) [1] and has produced as many as 30 albums.[ citation needed] One of his highlights was the release of the hit song " Ditlhopho Di Tsile" in 2004, [2] a self-produced and performed song commissioned by Botswana's Independent Electoral Commission to advertise national elections in a bid to reduce voter apathy. An earlier hit was " Ntsha Nkgo" with Kast, a Hip Hop/ Folk song released in 2003.
He has played a role in nurturing Botswana's infantile record industry, with noticeable work in not only his own productions but also with people like Socca Moruakgomo and the " Khalahari" afro jazz album, the birth of the pop group Davet Crew and Kast to name a few.
