What first got you into music?
*My uncle used to listen to Kwaito music all the time, we had a new Hifi at home at the time and he had a collection of CD’s, So I found myself falling I love with the music .

Who inspired you to make music?
*My uncle.

How would you describe the music 
that you typically create?
*Its music that comes straight from the heart, music that doesn’t discriminate, music that touches you in any way, it can make you sad, happy, angry, get you in your feelings, get you wild, get you excited and most of all motivate you.

What is your creative process like?
Since I make my beats, that’s where it starts....most of the time the moment I’m half done with the beat I’d be mumbling ideas over it. From there I turn those ideas into a concept, the concept could be about anything whether it’s about my experiences, or someone else’s experiences, me being inspired or me trying to inspire  or me trying to speak about what I feel at that moment, I could be happy, sad, angry or in a mood to make people wanna dance. Then I turn the concept into lyrics which is the most difficult part, and It’s always interesting though because sometimes you make a song in your head and when you put it in record it doesn’t come out how you thought it would. So it’s never an easy process.

Who would you most like to collaborate with?
*Blaqbonez from Nigeria

If you could go open a show for any artist who would it be?
*Local Nasty C
*International Big Sean

-What is one message you would give to your fans?
*Stop feeling entitled and work harder.

What is the most useless talent you have?
*Cricket😅

Do you sing in the shower? What songs?
*yes and Mostly RnB songs, Donald Glover - feel like summer, Justin Beiber- Yummy, Kehlani - Toxic, Chris Brown - Trust issues, PARTYNEXTDOOR - Believe it Dr Rihanna bût mostly I enjoy Jaqcuees music.

What would you be doing right now, if it wasn’t for your music career?
*Probably working at an accounting company that I hate.😅

Where have you performed? What are your favourite and least favourite venues? Do you have any upcoming shows?
East London - Pop Bottles
East London - Jack Daniels scouts
East London - Skhanda world tour
Grahamstown- Arts festival
Queenstown - Yolo Lounge
Alice - Fort Hare
Mtata - Dage Wonderland Club
Sterkspruit - forgot the venue
And the list goes some venues I forgot.
But my Favorite was the Skhanda world tour and my least favorite was one of the shows we did in Alice Fort Hare, literally got boo’d off stage 😂
And no there’s no upcoming shows yet due to this pandemic.

How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?
*Internet is busy saving music right now, artists are eating off streams now that they can’t do live shows because of the COVID-19. Music can be distributed world wide now via internet, so the impact of it really added more business because now it’s easy to buy music online rather than to buy a hard copy of your CD. It’s really interesting.

How has COVID-19 affected your movement? 
It didn’t affect me really because it caught me at a time where I was trying to be creative, and spend more time alone and figure out a lot of things about my life personally. So I got to be creative in my studio, and i got to figure out a lot of things about myself and my music. Also got me thinking about the change and the impact I wanna make with my music.

What is your favorite song to perform?
*Bake by Stay Fresh Team

Which famous musicians do you admire?
*Internationally : J Cole, Drake, Rick Ross, Dr Dre, Jay Z and Yeezy.
*Locally : Cassper Nyovest, AKA, Nasty C, Yanga Chief, Dj Maphorisa, and Black Coffee.

What is the most trouble you’ve ever gotten into?
*Ive never been a kid that likes getting into trouble, So I don’t recall getting myself into any trouble.

What is the best advice you’ve been given?
*Believe in yourself.
 
If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?
*For them to play more local content on tv and on radio.

What’s next for you?
*Currently working on a solo project which I’m planning on doing great things with it, so look out for that.

                             Saint Royalle Saint said even if the mountain has falling rocks we will keep on climbing.  Interview : What first got you into music? Well I think I was born for music because my mother was a vocalist back in her teenage days, she used to sing and also she participated in the church choir. My father was a Dj he had a program on radio whereby he played his tracks so the love of music I got it from my parents and the characteristics of my parents started to kick in when I first listened to J.cole's album "The Warm Up" that's when I realized that I could actually write my own lines but back then I was 12 so I didn't take it seriously like now.

Author: Liyema Mantshongo Photo: Facebook Luthando Ntsika Lingela to start business on his newly branded "Endurance 045" pads by Friday. Lingela who was a Kwa-Komani Technical School scholar who sure stands by the school's motto of depart to serve. He is an entrepreneur and a very charitable contributor and all that came from his mother's teachings. His mother was a hawker who has a big heart because she would take children from the streets and give them a warm home. That's where it all started for Luthando to be a humble young man that takes business opportunities as a way of giving back to the community. His first idea of business was LNL that had t-shirts, hoodies, socks, socks etc and with great regard you can name him a Komani influenza because after that time brands started popping and being the it thing. In the period of 2018/19 where there were many cases that were under depression and anxiety, Luthando created an organization called Pioneers of Hope as to
