Diagnosed with cancer at 11, Musa’s life changed forevermore when his cancer led to his leg being amputated. Having initially had big dreams of becoming a professional footballer, Musa returned to playing football on crutches, before finding his passion for dance as a street dancer in 2010. Since then, Musa has started his professional dancing career, training at Vuyani Dance Theatre in Johannesburg. Learning the art of contemporary, afro-fusion, tap and ballet, Musa was soon touring internationally, inspiring audiences with his drive to continue with his dreams despite the adversity he faced. Most recently, in 2023, Musa competed on Britain’s Got Talent, where he famously received the first group BGT Golden Buzzer.

Receiving a standing ovation at his BGT audition, Musa went on to win his semi-final, before reaching the final. Winning the hearts of the British public, Musa finished in fifth place in the final, winning 10.9% of the public vote. Aside from his success on BGT, Musa has also rubbed shoulders with the stars, having starred in Drake’s music video for One Dance. Today, Musa is a professional dancer for Rambert, a contemporary company based in London, and has most recently claimed the Emerging Artist Award at the 2023 National Dance Awards. He also appeared on the May 2023 cover of Vogue, for their ‘Nothing is More Fashionable Than Inclusivity’ Disability Portfolio.
