This week on WAW! What A Week, DJ Fresh sits down with South African singer, songwriter and guitarist Jesse Clegg for a powerful conversation about music, legacy and identity.

The son of the legendary Johnny Clegg, Jesse grew up in one of South Africa’s most iconic musical households. But over the years he has carved out his own lane — from chart-topping hits and international tours to building a sound that blends rock, pop and African musical influences.

In this episode, Jesse opens up about growing up around music royalty, the pressure and privilege of carrying the Clegg name, navigating the modern music industry, and how losing his father reshaped his perspective on life and creativity.

This is a conversation about legacy, purpose, grief, culture and the role music plays in shaping who we are.

If you love honest conversations with artists who think deeply about their craft, this episode is for you.
