HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE THE MODERN SOUTH AFRICAN WOMAN? The privilege of being a South African woman is something that I have become more aware of recently. We have a special compassion, genius, and character that has been shaped by our environment.
“ I want to represent African RnB and Soul and redefine the way the music coming out of the continent is received and understood.”
HOW DO YOU PRIORITISE YOUR MENTAL WELLBEING AND MAINTAIN BALANCE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY? This has been my specific mission over the past 12 months. I have been blessed to have had a huge interest in and demand for my music, so I have had to learn how to keep that in perspective while also understanding that it comes with many mostly internal challenges. The team around me and listening to my heart and body have also helped.
