Mr Thela stands out among many producers by developing his unique sound, leading the way for what is now recognised as Cape Town Gqom, Gqom Gospel, Church Groove, or Isghubu.
After making a big impact in 2020 with his hit album "MAKE CAPE TOWN GREAT AGAIN", Mr Thela has kept pushing the boundaries of the Gqom music genre.
The Gqom hit maker’s recent YouTube milestone, with "Ntinga ntaka ndim" surpassing 2 million plays, joins his other most viewed songs "Kwandonga Ziyaduma", "Cross night", and "Strings of life".
His album was up for consideration as the 'Best Gqom Album' at the 2021 SAMAs, and his music is now a popular choice at virtual house parties and on the radio.
Mr Thela is known for a string of successes, including going RiSA gold with his hit single "Kwandonga Ziyaduma", signing with Universal Music Group, winning a Metro FM Music Award, and securing an official collaboration deal with SKYY Vodka when he recorded a 42-minute live session in Kogelbaai.
After a successful international gig in South Korea, Mr Thela gained international fans and shares his music with both local and international audiences.
Fans can pre-save "Thula Moya Wam" on various music channels, including Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, Tidal, and Deezer.
