Hip Hop, Pop project Stephen Gawking is the brainchild of Ijay Swanepoel, a symbol of hope and inspiration to those who are: disabled, different, oppressed, bullied, and everyone in-between. Despite being diagnosed with SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy), Ijay discovered at the age of 25 that he’s, in fact, a talented lyricist, which dramatically fuelled his musical ambition. Curiosity Killed The Cat is the third single from Stephen Gawking and was preceded by the first 2 singles ‘Nerd’s Creed’ and I’mperfection(s). With the 3rd single, Curiosity Killed the Cat, iFani, Daniel Wesley Africa and Auctavia feature, which, despite its seemingly carefree tone, in fact carries with it a dire warning, gently urging Earth’s peoples to change their destructive ways before it’s too late.
