An emerging musician from Langa hopes to cement his place in the gospel music fraternity following the release of his debut Extended Play (EP) Umgelesho.
The 35-year-old Siphesihle Notwabaza said through the EP he hoped to give his listeners a sample before releasing the full album.
The EP has three songs, “Inxaniwe intliziyo, “Udumo and Izwi likaYehova”.
“I’m just testing the waters. I want to see how my supporters are going to react to it.
“But I trust they will love my voice,” he said.
Notwabaza said singing was not just a talent, but a gift from God.
He said he started singing during his school days.
“I love music. I love singing. I used to sing at school. I was part of the Sunday school choir. At the school assembly I would start the song. I can even compose.”
Notwabaza said something has to touch him for the desire to take hold to compose a song.
“Sometimes the idea comes while I’m walking, or it comes through a dream. I don’t just write a song for the sake of writing. There must be something that pushes me to do so.”
Notwabaza said his music was available on all music platforms and urged his followers to take a listen.
