Learn "Thuto SA" Mahane, an emerging amapiano artist from Chavani village, reckons he is ready become a part of the conversation in music circles. Thuto SA released his latest single, titled Yi lava wena, earlier this month and it appears to be performing quite well so far.
Yi lava wena, he says, tells a personal story to which his fans may relate. "I was inspired by a past experience where I fell in love, but it did not work out and I had a hard time to move on," he said.
Thuto SA started singing and learning to play various instruments such as the piano, bass guitar, acoustic guitar and drums in 2013. "This sparked my interest to explore my musical abilities further at church and turned out to be a success. I developed a deep passion and love for music," he said.
Thuto SA first became known locally after the release of his single Mdali last year. He has produced many other singles and a 4-track EP, called Malangavi, which was also released last December. He has worked with up-and-coming artists such as Manotry and Mikzo Soul in the past and is determined to make it big in the world of music. He hopes that his latest track will be the turning point in his music career. "I believe it is high time the public starts taking notice of my work," he said.
What distinguishes Thuto SA from other artists is his ability to make each song stand out through his easy way of jamming. "I make it a point to stay humble and focused, instead of competing. I have high hopes of collaborating with established musicians like Henny C and Tsonga Prince in the near future and in this way gain the exposure I need to really elevate my career," he said.
Thuto SA's music is available on music platforms such as YouTube.
