The unfortunate fate of “disappearing” that seems to befall former Idol SA favourites is a real fear for artist Thami Shobede‚ who in the quest to keep his star shining‚ is knocking on doors all by himself and winning.
The 2016 Idols SA contestants is one of the few artists scouted by the competition that has stood on his own feet and taken his career further after his season ended. He told TshisaLIVE that he was going to protect his light against all kinds of winds.
“I can assure you that I have no plans of fading out or fading away. If anything‚ I am on the road trip to my next album that I have decided will only be released in 2020.”
“I plan on having activity around my brand all the time until I have my album out. I am all about presence and I don’t plan on falling under the pressure of just releasing album when there’s so much that can be done with existing music. I just know that I am not going anywhere. In ten years time I’ll still be here with timeless albums‚ even if it’s just three of them‚” Thami said.
The Sthandwa hitmaker said he was well aware that part of the problems former contestants were faced with was record labels or management not renewing contracts because they are not selling albums.
Thami said he planned on kicking down doors for himself and always helping his management and record label help him reach his maximum potential.
One of his most recent activities that reminded Mzansi of the smooth-voiced artist was the social media campaign he began on a whim to shoot a music video that would have a super fan as the leading lady and be shot by rising stars.
“I decided to not let my fate be in other people’s hands entirely. I woke up one day and I decided that I wanted to shoot a video for my song Thenjiwe because my people had been waiting for a video for‚ probably‚ the whole year. I also wanted then to be a big part of the video so I posted as such on social media that I am looking for Thenjiwe.”
Over hundreds of DM’s later‚ Thami with the help of his assistants chose Sthe‚ who will be the leading lady in the music video that will be released later this week.
