He said this single that will be his second single after S’gubu sa Malakista which was aired in the local airwaves, will be a hit. He added that after not being active in the music industry for sometime, he found it fit to make a strong comeback and treat his fans with nothing but the best and a more matured single.
“I will be releasing my new single Khoisan later this year. I also intend to shoot its video the same time I will be dropping this single,” he said.
The 29-year-old, who is not a stranger in the local music industry, has made a mark in the music industry since early 2002 where he released his first single S’gubu sa Malakista. However, his music career started when he danced for some of the popular local artists like the late Bull Dog, Lesh, Seven11, among others.
He was later a back up singer for Kabelo Tiro also known as Scavenger when his singing talent evolved. Fortunately, Nkosibona Mokoka recognised the young man’s talent and decided to manage him. At the time, Mokoka was also Tiro’s manager.
“I have also done a lot of good things in the local music industry. I have choreographed a number of local artists such as Vee Mampeezy, Eskimos, Maxy Digauta, Tyte, Abbie and others,” said the multi talented young artist.
He boasted of having shared the stage with some of the international musicians such as the late Senyaka, Brown Dash, Arthur Mafokate, Alaska, Trompies, Mozambia and Chommie. Locally, he performed alongside Vee, Drama Boi, ATI, Charma Gal, Trinity, the Lady of Jazz and others.
Furthermore, Malakista told Showbiz that he felt the local music industry was doing well and was growing significantly as most of the local artists had gained recognition in the international market.
His passion for music got him seeing it appropriate to give back to his White City youth through dance.
“I have volunteered to teach White City teenagers and children how to dance as a way of taking them off the streets. My project aims to keep them busy so that they cannot get bored and indulge in social ills such as alcohol and drug abuse. This will also show them that they can use their talents and enjoy life without using alcohol or drugs,” he said.
