Hulisani Masakona from Muledane, known as Lutroo Da-Music, holds the belief that unity among musicians can contribute to building a music community that is supportive, which will lead to increased creativity and collaboration.
Since the release of his latest single, Can't Hide It, last month, it has been making waves in the music industry. He collaborated with Osome Feyn, Mass The Difference and Mizo Phyll in recording the song.
He said the inspiration for the song came from a memorable evening at Marshal Cafe where several artists were gathered, hanging out, and socialising. "The experience made me realise that we could achieve much more as a collective than as individuals, which is the central message of the song - that together we can achieve greatness and emerge victorious," he said.
Over the years, this rising musician has developed a unique sound that blends different genres effortlessly. He began his artistic journey during his primary school days, where his former music teacher discovered his talent and nurtured it. Since then, he has been on a musical journey, continuously growing.
Thus far, he has released three albums, namely Hulisani one, two, and three, and several singles. Last November, he released a single named Properly, featuring Afro-beats Nigerian artist Zaiam, who is based in Canada.
Besides his musical endeavours, Lutroo Da-Music is also passionate about giving back to the community. He plans to use his newly founded media and entertainment record label, "Da-Music Group," to offer services such as song writing, tutoring, and vocal coaching to young and upcoming artists.
