Siyabulela “Supta” Sithole has been a producer and DJ in the music industry for the past six years. It’s been a slow start, but with his first EP, he’s ready to make a big splash.
He has made hit songs with well-known artists like Prince Kaybee, DJ Tira, Ndlovukazi, NaakMusiQ, and Lady Zamar.
Popular as a radio personality for 13 years, the star has made his own way in the music world, putting out singles like “Indoda Emadodeni” in April and “Ntinga Ntaka,” which means “Soar, eagle. Soar,” in Xhosa, in August.
Supta told TshisaLIVE that there was a lot of fear and worry on the way to the project’s release. Putting together the EP and listening to the songs helped him feel better about himself.
“There was big element of fear, a big element of anxiety, when it came to this EP for a very long time.
“I got to a point where I thought I was ready to be an eagle and fly, get into a different space and level from a musical perspective. I got to a point of courage and confidence. Of eventually putting a body of work together and releasing it,” he said.
He sticks to making music that is personal and easy to understand, and he rules the Afro-tech and Afro-house music scenes.
“The level of belief needed in me and the work I do is different. I’ve always been about music that relays a message, that speaks to a part of one’s life, be it in a relationship, work, or day-to-day inspiration that one needs. A message for me is very important.”
Supta included Thalitha, Thabia, and other rising stars on purpose because he wanted to bring attention to talent in Mzansi that hadn’t yet been found.
“South Africa has so much talent out there and it’s a matter of finding it and working with people who have the right attitude and appetite to grow themselves within the industry. Good music will always be good music regardless of who it is. Whether the name or clout.”
He wants to show his fans back home in Aliwal North how much he appreciates them by holding a homecoming event where he will give some of the money to charities in the area.
He is also working on another project and putting together his first album, which will come out in 2023.
