THABISA

Posted June 25, 2021

“I believe that what you breathe out, what you utter, you create, you make alive.” Thabisa’s soul emerges through her music in an unforgettable blend of a diverse medley of musical influences and her own distinctive energy. Thabisa, whose name alone means “make others happy”, challenges us all to be better versions of ourselves, spreading messages of love, hope, and introspection.

Thabisa is an artist, musician, a mother and a motivated individual. Born in Kwazakhele, she moved to New Haven in early 2016 and immediately jumped into the music scene. Thabisa's career blossomed when she competed in Idols South Africa and finished in the Top 18. She signed with an independent recording label the year following and produced two highly acclaimed albums, The Journey (2013) and Eyodidi (2015).
