He entertained guests with covers of famous songs followed by a song he dedicates to his best friend, titled Hello Masebotsana.
He believes passion is the single driving force that turns a talent into a profitable career.
Leballo says a singer needs regular voice training to stay on top of their game. “One major way to become a better singer is to have vocal training, you will never be a good or better singer if you do not train and test your voice. You need to see which kind of music genre fits you best, and what kind of songs or notes you can hold, and never doubt yourself as a singer, always believe in yourself,” he said.
Another important thing for artists to remember, according to Leballo, is to know their range. He says to focus on breathing techniques, and learn the proper singing posture.
“And always remember to warm up your voice with liquids, preferably water,” he adds.
