Sekoto的初恋是音乐，他收到父亲送给他的和声作为礼物后，就自学识谱，从小就自己谱曲。在Sekoto去世后，在一个旧手提箱中发现了这些自编歌曲的完整集合，在Barbara Lindop的指导下，由Sekto基金会制作了一首名为“蓝头”的音乐CD。巴黎，这座“光之城”，从二十世纪二十年代初就成为艺术自由的灯塔，吸引了成千上万的艺术家、音乐家和作家，其中许多人是或文化者，来体验它亲切的种族和艺术氛围。Sekoto是这些文化庇护者之一，他们在1947年被流放后离开南非。身为黑人，贫穷，不懂语言和文化，身为残疾人——在寒冷、黑暗的酒店房间里一幅不知名的艺术家画——Sekoto在巴黎的第一年是为生存而战。

Sekoto’s first love was music, and after receiving a harmonium as gift from his father he taught himself to read music, and composed his own tunes from a very young age. The discovery of a whole collection of these self-composed songs in an old suitcase after Sekoto’s death, led to the production of a musical CD titled ‘The Blue Heads’ by The Sekoto Foundation under the guidance of Barbara Lindop. Paris, the “City of Light”, was a beacon of artistic freedom from the early 1920’s and lured thousands of artists, musicians and writers, many of whom were political or cultural exiles, to experience its cordial racial and artistic climate. Sekoto was one of these cultural asylum-seekers having left South Africa under self-imposed exile in 1947. Handicapped by being black, poor and not knowing the language or culture – an unknown artist painting in a cold, dark hotel room – Sekoto’s first years in Paris were a battle for survival.
