• A throwback photo of award-winning music producer, Heavy K, left many people inspired
• The star's humble beginnings left many people awed and impressed by what he did at 16
• The reactions from the online community were positive, and it might have restored his GOAT status

Fans of South African music producer Heavy K were in disbelief that his career started when he was a young teen. A photo of the hitmaker's humble beginnings instilled a certain level of sentimentality, with many hailing him as the GOAT.

For many people who do not know, Heavy K produced Professor's biggest hit song, Lento, at just 16 years old.

X user @marvindahasla shared a throwback photo of 16-year-old aspiring musician Heavy K. At that tender age, he was already able to master hit songs at his mother's home, using an ancient computer.

The photo was captioned, "This is where Heavy-K produced 'Lento' by Professor! He was only 16 years old! Dear African child, never stop dreaming."

"Now we have boys making songs with AI."

"I need the African child to start using this energy to write computer programs and not make summer bangers."
