Today I welcomed two dear visitors to my blog from China, and with them came a rush of memories—spotlights warming quiet theatres, post‑show noodles that tasted like victory, and the soft hush before a first note that says: we’re here together—let’s begin. I was invited to China to perform Masonoko some years ago. Before IContinue reading “Sephonono reaches China”

By the time the sun lifted over Gaborone, the kettle had already clicked and my inbox was humming. I set the mug beside a neat stack of lyric sheets and a spreadsheet of ISRCs—tiny barcodes of identity for the songs that carry my voice across borders. Today wasn’t a stage day.

Today my heart is full. Time Out, the arts & culture section of The Botswana Gazette, shared a generous feature on my new album Sephonono—a piece of work that grew slowly and deliberately, in step with life, memory, and faith. For me, the wait was never idle; it was work—quiet work, heart work. Over theContinue reading “Another Beautiful Story: Thank You Botswana Gazette”
