Happy and respectful

The child has earned attention from celebrities such as Britney Spears and T-Pain who both commented on his performance on their social media profiles. “This little guy gives me life,” Spears wrote on her Instagram account. T-Pain  shared a video of Arch Jnr with the caption “Little guy has the gift.” Though he is very proud of his son’s performance, Arch’s father, Glen Hlongwane wants his son to grow up happy and respectful.

“Since the video went viral, people have been asking me where his is going to perform next, and whether he’s been signed to a record label. But I don’t have plans for any of that. My child is not a business, he’s only three years old.I’m not his manager, I’m his father and right now, AJ [DJ Arch Jnr] is just a child doing what he loves, not a working artist,” he said.

When asked what he was going to do with the money, the father added:

“It’s all going to go towards his education and improving his life.”
