=== Discovery of music and music creation ===

Peiderezek first heard music in 1999; specifically, he heard the song [xyz] of the Baphian rock band Jowemu Kyezupe; Peiderezek described his experience in his biography ''Blackstar'': <blockquote>It was an ethereal experience, first listening to music. It still remains vivid in my mind, more vivid than anything. It was eleven in the morning, I had woken up hours earlier, and she [yamahati mother] had finished helping me take a bath. I suddenly heard muted, aggressive noise coming from the living room. Me, in the bathroom, flinched and almost broke down in tears; I was reminded of the quarry. She was confused as to why I was breaking down in tears, and comforted me — eventually, she asked me what the matter was, and I asked, through my tears, what the noise was. She frowned and looked at me. "It's music," she said. I had heard the word but never even knew what music was: I simply had never heard any music before. Slowly, I dressed and made my way to the living room of the house, where I sat down on the couch next to [yamahati]. He was watching a music video of the band Jowemu Kyezupe. I had never even conceptualized anything like them. I leaned into him as I listened, perplexed.

=== Vocal style ===

Peiderezek is known as an expressive vocalist with relative pitch. His stylings, including uses of staccato, legato, groans and wails, vocal hiccups, and adlibs are all signature to his "sonic character". Peiderezek's voice was described by Matsutsang Dsim(?) as "utterly distinct and beautiful". His vocal style has changed throughout his career, being described as "darker" and "aggressive" in ''Mujekesi Soyandoze, Castle of Broken Dreams'', and to an extent ''Ele. A''s he moved his musical style to a more pop-sound with his albums ''sozhe'' and ''Shile Biyefonu'', his style has changed to a somewhat gentler, softer, and clearer tone.

=== Dance ===

Peiderezek began learning how to dance in 2001, after the release of ''Mujekesi Soyandoze,'' under the tutelage of Bapho-Azkali dancer Nekio Zezak. Peiderezek began incorporating dance in his live performances starting with the Castle of Broken Dreams residency in 2003. During the Castle of Broken Dreams tour, he debuted his signature moonwalk dance, previously known as the ''nazagiyagoyen'' (in [[Azkali language|Azkali]] nazagiagoen, meaning ''to slide backwards'') which he had learned by watching street performers in the A'Block.
