Milton Kizzy is proudly South Sudanese and wants the world to hear what he can do. Songs such as Antidote, Kujur and My Wish have made him popular with his countrymen and women, and they've achieved numbers on streaming sites rarely seen for South Sudanese artists. Milton - real name Dhal Samuel Thiong - fled South Sudan when the war broke out and spent much of his childhood in Uganda in a refugee camp. Getting into music wasn't easy, and when he was starting out he almost fell foul of scammers who tried to get money from him in return for supposedly promoting his song. But Milton Kizzy was undeterred and his perseverance has paid off. His latest body of work is called Child of Grace, because he believes the success he is now enjoying is a blessing from God. His mother also happens to be called Grace!
