Hi Stranger...
If you had told me, a year ago, that our planet would be shaken by a killer flu and I wouldn't perform for over a year, I would have shook my head and called you crazy. But here we are!!!
And what a long break it has been. 2020 Tested the entertainment industry in a way we could have NEVER foreseen.
This time away (from you) has made me feel all sorts of lonely and nostalgic. I miss everything. From rehearsals, to studio to negotiating with sound engineers during sound check. I miss healing myself. It hasn't all been bleak though. I am so please to share that I have spent the past few months recording a new and exciting project in collaboration with Waltz Music Group!!!
The roll out of this next phase of my musical journey promises to be interesting. I have never done anything like this before and I have high hopes that it will all be well received.
The first single "Let Me Go" ft Stakev, drops on 23 April and the rest of the EP will be available on 21 May,2021
In the meantime, allow me to reflect on some of the work I have put out thus far. A walk down memory lane, if you will. Thank you so much for your relentless love and support.
Makwande!!!

"Ndikethe"
"I have a confession
xa ndikubona ndiba dizzy baby
amazwi am aziphithanise, aduke
ingask undikhethe baby
ingask undibambe lavi
aziphithanise, aduke
Ndibona sekugqityiwe,Ndibona sends nikele
Ndibona sowndikhethile
Ndingowakho, uthi baby
Ingask undikhethe
Ingaske ndibe ngowakho
I wanna be your lady
uthi "baby", ndithi "honey"
Ndifun uba lubambo lwakho, undithande unditeketise
yanga nawe ungaziva ngolohlobo
Ndikhonze ndixabise, ndikhusele ndivuyise
yenzea njalo ngonaphakade"
Enkosi
I went against the advise from my team on this one. I felt very strongly that ,as an intro ,"Ndikethe" set the tone for the love story I wanted to tell
Special thank you's to Bonging Mpofu and Maleh Makgothi for engineering this project. Big love to Lesego Moagi for the voice notes. Dakalo Mashau for playing my boyfriend :)
