Pheto's credo to give but simply the best

No Image

"We all succeed and stay relevant by different means." These are the words that television (TV) and hip pop artist Thuto Pheto, famously known as Melo, lives by. They say the purpose of life is to give birth to the best that is within us and as for him; his best so far is performance.

When one sees Pheto on TV, it's easy to admire his charisma, talent and charm as he oozes self-confidence but little do they know that this 20-something-year-old suffered a great deal when he lost his mother at a tender age in 2002, this did not derail him but instead taught him a valuable lesson in life that he must be a shining example to both his peers and elders and overcome any rough situation put before him - and indeed he has.

Born in Gaborone, Thuto says he grew up in different neighbourhoods of the city that he strongly feels made him the man he is today. He is quick to point out that the different experiences and people he has met have mostly taught him the most valuable lessons of life that he will forever be grateful for.  "I learnt from a young age that there are no shoes one has to fill except their own and all one has to do is to make sure that they have the right sizes. In other words one has set their own path, but making sure it's one that can be of benefit to others as well.
