“Our focus and challenge now is the Covid-19 pandemic. I wanted to excite people and remind them about love and loving each other,” he said.
Zindela started performing at eight years old after he was introduced to music by his late uncle, Xolani Mbhele, who was a base guitar player.
“My whole family is into music. I was the only one who choose to continue with a music career after trying my luck with fashion design, which it didn’t work out because I was making noise in the class,” he chuckled.

He started taking vocal classes at the BAT Centre and was mentored by Xoliswa Dlamini, and, under his guidance, released his first song Ugcabhayiyane.
Soon after he joined Sagiya Records and released ‘Undabazamantu’, a song he said has received a lot of praise.
“They groomed me a lot on the jazz’s side because there was lot I didn’t know about. They helped me find gigs and now, with music, I can buy bread. I live music,” he said.
In his musical experience, he has shared a stage with Simthandile at the Durban Day Festival and has performed with Nozuko Nguqu, Down Town Johannesburg as well as Xolisa Dlamini at the BAT Centre.
His music is available on all digital platforms and you can find him across social media platforms by searching for @Royalson.
