“My name means ‘with love I stand’, and everything I do is with love, including music,” says Noluthando Ngema, singer and content creator.
She says she’s always been a creative human being and the one child who was called upon to perform at family events, but it was only later on, when she went through dark times of depression and anxiety, that she found music was a medium through which she could connect with herself and with God.
“It’s really impacted my life because now I have the language and melodies to express what’s going on and a way to bring myself out of situations,” she says. “I have language and melody to connect with God, and to connect with people and I feel that is so special – being able to express oneself in a beautiful way.”
She said she studied something that she didn’t enjoy for a long time, and winning the prize of a music scholarship would be a way of redeeming those years and getting her music out into the world.
“My style of music is native. It is a call to a land that most people might not know of; a call to humanity in its beautiful form,” Noluthando explains. “I get inspiration from everywhere. I am an eclectic mix, from the Maskandi vibe to the Florence and the Machine vibe, as well as the newer generation of musicians, like Msaki or MUZI. I very much draw from all those people and add my unique touch.”
