Tsakani – Trap soul and hip-hop musician Nhlanhla Keliko is determined to stamp his name on the entertainment industry.
The 25-year-old from Tsakani Ext 11 started singing in high school. He said he started making music and calling himself an artist in 2018 after releasing his first single, My Life, recorded at Wavey Season studio and owned by T-Loyal.
“I chose to do music because I wanted people to know me and share my life experience through music.
“I can express myself better through music,” said Nhlanhla.

He has released six singles, including his latest, Amen.
He added that one of the challenges he faced as a new artist was the lack of platforms from which young people could draw inspiration.
