John Frog is one of South Sudan’s most successful musicians. He’s forging an international reputation and has collaborated with artists from other African countries, including Uganda’s Eddie Kenzo, Bahati from Kenya and Iyanya from Nigeria.

In this edition John Frog tells DJ Edu his remarkable story. He was given the name Aguek, which means frog in Dinka, because he was a breech baby, coming into the world feet-first. His parents were soldiers in the SPLA – the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) – and he himself was a child soldier, joining the army at around eight years old and getting his first gun at 14.
