First introduced to the music world with her heartfelt hit Amacala, Lusikisiki-born Afro pop sensation Siphokazi Mohapi has embarked on a remarkable journey of creative exploration, personal growth, and artistic resilience.
The singer announced her status as an independent artist, a path she has walked for the past 16 years, free from the ties of her former record label.
In a heartfelt reflection, Siphokazi shares that this clarification is long overdue. But it comes from a place of love and deep respect for her supporters. For the music industry and the truth of her journey.
Grateful for the journey
In a statement, she expressed gratitude to the label that launched her career. She acknowledged the opportunities that shaped her into the artist she is today.
“That chapter gave me a platform to share my voice with the world. And I will always hold those moments dear,” she said.
Her path has not been without its challenges, she said.
Navigating the complexities of the music industry, she has faced many challenges. These include creative constraints, industry limitations, and the unique struggles of being a woman in music. Yet, these obstacles have only fuelled her growth. Not only as a singer and songwriter, but also as a social activist and caregiver.
“Every challenge has been a lesson, shaping me into a stronger, more purposeful artist,” she reflected.
To her loyal supporters, Siphokazi extends her heartfelt thanks.
Independent journey
“Your love and encouragement have carried me through every step of this journey. To those just discovering my music, welcome to my world of music. This is where every note is an expression of my soul,” she says.
Siphokazi continues her journey as an independent artist. She looks to the future with excitement and optimism. With new music, live performances, and a commitment to education through her art, she is ready to share more moments of inspiration and connection.
