Katlego Ntirang, also known as Dato Seiko, is in Ghana where she is attending a music writing camp organised by Warner Music Africa and Atlantic Records.

She is the only artist from Botswana alongside South Africa's Kamo Mphela, Nkosazana Daughter, Joeboy, Yumbs and Remy Baggins. With the promise of new music and collaboration with renowned producers, Dato Seiko is poised to take the charts by storm. The talented artist expressed her excitement about the camp, highlighting the opportunity to work with accomplished producers who have previously collaborated with international artists. "We are currently working on a project; all the producers attending this camp have worked with such big artists like Jorja Smith, Burna Boy, Wizkid and many more and I'm really excited to be working with them," Dato Seiko said.

Dato Seiko also said she believes that the experience will elevate her music to new heights and introduce her unique sound to a global audience. "I have no doubt in mind that my music will totally improve and top international chats," she added.

She stated that she believes the burgeoning music scene in Botswana is brimming with potential and is on the cusp of making a significant impact in the industry.

With dedication and skill, she anticipates that Botswana artists will soon achieve international recognition. "Botswana musicians work really hard. We’ve seen so many amazing projects last year. There’s nothing to fault, we’re great and the world will notice us one day," she said. As Dato Seiko immerses herself in the creative environment of the music writing camp, she says fans should expect a fusion of diverse influences and innovative sounds to emanate from her upcoming projects. "I should be sharing what I'm working on soon," she said.
