Solly Moholo on venturing into Amapiano

Moholo has been highly active since announcing his venture into amapiano earlier this year, during an interview on Gogo Skhotheni’s podcast.

At the time, the gospel star, known for hits like “Tsoha Jonase and Nice Time ya Bolaya,” revealed plans to release a new amapiano project soon.

Explaining his decision to venture into amapiano, Moholo emphasised the need to reach out to young people through his music.

“The younger generation has a significant influence on the world today. Many have turned to taverns, which is why I’m bringing this vibe to reach them wherever they are.

“There are drugs everywhere, and that’s why I say in my new song, stop drugs, stop crime, child trafficking, and violence,” he said.
