"Stronger than yesterday"
Idols darling Lucia takes on life
By Nyasha Themba Dhliwayo
With her soul-filled voice, Lucia Nombulelo Jakeni sang her way into South African's hearts during the twelfth edition of Idols SA held in 2016.
The usually frosty judge Randall, warmed up a few degrees, describing her in one episode as "the most sophisticated performer" as well as saying that there was a post-Idols career for the statuesque vocalist.
Not to be left out, Somizi gushed that Lucia "deserved to conquer the industry" after she left Idols SA.
As fate would have it, Lucia was eliminated, but her voice remained stuck in many music-lovers ears.
After being wowed by "Ndomelele" her rousing track from Sculptured Music's 2017 Breath Again album, we tracked Lucia down to see how her career and life has fared since her Idols SA stint.

The
simply amazing Simmy
By
Nyasha Themba Dhliwayo
She is the real
deal and if/when the land is "returned", we are willing to bet some
substantial hectares of it, that Simphiwe Nhlangulela will make a crater-sized
impact on the musical landscape.
Known to you and I simply as Simmy,
the sublime voice behind captivating tracks such as "Ubala",
"Sonini" and "Ntaba Ezikude", this Neo-Soul/Neo-Folk musician
is fast establishing herself as a "love at first listen" type of
artist.
Instrumental in this journey has
been "man-of-the-moment", producer/DJ Sun EL Musician.
His Midas touch has been evident in
the aforementioned tracks that are currently steamrollering their way through
local charts and playlists.
Sun EL Musician also happens to be
Simmy's label boss as she is currently signed to his ELWorldMusic record
company.
With barely constrained infatuation,
we recently had the pleasure to share a few words with the beautiful songbird.

Boss things all day everyday
By Nyasha Themba Dhliwayo
We all know characters who dress like, talk like and even act like bosses.
Well, at least that's until it comes to getting down to the actual business of being a boss.
There's also the Bhoza Mphela types, who don't really have to pose like bosses, because they are too busy occupied with the business of actually doing boss things.
In the month when we celebrate and appreciate women, we grabbed with both hands the opportunity to chat with this particular boss lady.
In a career spanning almost two decades in the entertainment industry, Bhoza Mphela has solidified her a reputation as an efficient businesswoman.
Whether it's putting together an event, managing her artists interests (one of the more prominent being DJ Ganyani), or running the affairs an organisation that promotes her home province of Limpopo, Bhoza gets the job done klaar.
Grab a seat and notebook as Bhoza breaks down her recipe for success.
The boss lady also talks about, repping Limpopo haaard as well as shares interesting tidbits like how ages ago, she provided exposure to a then emerging DJ going by the name of Black Coffee.

Like us you most probably shared this clip while wondering all the while who the lady tickling the ivories was.
