Lisha Muzique was born for music

For Lisha Muzique, born Mulanga Malisha, spending afternoons at his uncles' studio as a child has created a space for him to learn many musical basics that saw him following music for a career.

And guess who his uncles are? Colbert and Mulalo Mukwevho.

“I would play around recording and producing until I composed my first single, No doubt, in 2012 and shared it with friends at Thohoyandou Technical High School,” he said. “And they loved it. That was the beginning of my music career.”

Today he is a rising star as a house-music producer and singer. “Music speaks to me emotionally, physically and mentally,” he said. “It releases stress. The industry itself is big and it changes the world, especially financially.”

He said that, with his music, he was able to address issues of women abuse, rape, murder and many other crimes in South Africa with messages that his songs carry.

“My inspiration is Colbert Mukwevho. I look up to his great work as a musician. He doesn’t only focus on making great music, but also on feeding people with knowledge and giving them hope for whatever they might be going through in their lives,” he said. “His music is the answer to many questions.”

Lisha Muzique released his first album, Limpopo vibes, which was recorded at Colbert Mukwevho's studio. “I was motivated by my mother, who is an artist from Mukwevho Sisters (Tsini ha murena). She wrote some of the songs for me and the album is about love, peace and oneness.”

He concluded: “Watch this space - I am here to stay and progress as an artist!”
