Rochante Thandiwe Wagner, commonly known by the name “Chana” is an upcoming singer, song-writer who has recently released two tracks that are currently trending on social media, so to say.
Chana is a Media student at the college of the arts and describes her love for music as something that has been ingrained in her since she can remember. She played the piano in her younger years and wrote her first song when she was in grade 3. This artistic side of her simply manifested itself into the person that she is today and now she considers herself an artist. In addition, to singing and songwriting she writes poetry as well.
Having grown up in a musical household, music was second nature to her. Her mother’s support is what motivated her to continue working on her craft. According to her, if her mother wasn’t always “hyping” her up, she probably wouldn’t be where she is right now.
When it comes to showcasing her voice, she had always sung in her churches’ worship team, but she only recently performed as “Chana”. She performed her first released track W/U at the Kalahari Coffee Jazz Café only a few weeks ago.
“W/U was the first song that I ever released so it was super cool to have it linked to my first performance too.”
