Musician Elmah Masotsha, better known as Comza Mabebeza, described her latest project as one of the best she had ever worked on. She released a monster single, Ndo Fara Tshiphiri, three weeks ago.
Comza has been on the music scene for quite some time. The musician from Tshakhuma started her musical journey early in life. At the age of 19, while a learner at Tshiemuemu Secondary School in Tshakhuma, she was already making a name for herself, impressing her teachers and fellow students during arts and culture classes.
Her big break came in 2010 when she was spotted and recruited as a dancer and backing vocalist by the popular Manyalo music queen, Mazwale. "The same year saw me releasing my first album, Ho Monate.Mo. It was followed by Ma VIP in 2012 and Gearbox ya Tshikuta in 2014," she said. She released three more singles after that.
Tragedy struck in 2016 when she was involved in a serious accident on her way to perform in Gauteng. The accident nearly claimed both her life and her career as she spent almost three years recuperating. After a long absence, she is now on the comeback trail.
The single released three weeks ago was recorded at Xinari Entertainment with the help of DJ Msonda and Phathu. It delivers a message to the community, warning gossip mongers to stop speaking ill of others before knowing the full story. The song encourages people not to spread false and damaging rumours as doing so could land them in trouble.
"This is one of the best projects I have ever worked on. Since its release, I've received so much positive feedback, and people are loving it. I'm back on my feet again, and people are showing me the same love they had for me before the accident. I'm receiving bookings for small shows at weddings and small venues like taverns and bars. Bit by bit, I'm finding my way back into the hearts of my fans. For now, I'm focusing on releasing singles to reintroduce myself to my audience. My plan is to release a full album, probably early next year. I'm back to reclaim my top spot in the industry, and with the support I'm getting, nothing is going to stop me from achieving that," Comza said.
