Motivated by Passion
The Serowe native, Aobakwe Sera aka King Bucks represents Blxckmail entertainment – a group which consists of ten people including the producer. It’s actually a movement that he has been in for quite some time. The multitalented Aobakwe is not only an artist but he is also a performer and song writer.
He has long ventured into music, but joined the industry six years ago. First he was called Bucks Bunny but his name changed after he got his new stage name from a fellow local artist, Melo. This came after he performed well at an event which was held at Molapo Crossing way back. He promises to give out nothing other than the best music.

Currently he is working on an EP, and has released his latest track from the EP which is titled Ntaeza ya kasi, he did it with JT SpecialBoy. An EP is more of a mixtape. His EP consists of eight tracks. Aobakwe looks up to Dramaboi as he believes that he is the one who does things happen when it comes to music. To him, music is more like a calling and he said that he actually does it with passion, adding that he once thought of taking a break from it but he failed.
He encourages Batswana to take music as a hobby or a side hustle rather than a career and if it pays off, that would be a bonus to them. Aobakwe aspires to have his own record label and own studio in the near future to help the upcoming artists who looks up to renown local artists like Vee, Charma gal and others. Besides music he is passionate about his work since he is a professional driver and he is also a university student. Aobakwe is defined by his music content, it is one thing that makes him unique from other local artists. He said that his music is based on true life events and his experiences.

So far he has worked with a quite different local artists like Girly O Dibody and they’ve released a song called Ifonkong which its visuals are already playing on BTV. They have performed on Flava Dome and they had a couple of interviews together on local radio stations. He has also worked with people like Rolen X in a song titled ‘On my way’, UriBW, Zwai$ of Amanandos in a song titled “Bow Down”, as well as Honestbeatz. He appreciates the help he got from Girly O Dibody by saying, “She made me who I am, and she helped me with a lot of things. She took me to one studio and even introduced me to Blxckmail Studio where I met loving and caring people, we grew up together at Block 6, Gaborone and she’s the reason why I am King Bucks now.”
