Yanga Sobetwa is set to release her first live music recording.
The singer who took on the gospel industry after winning Idols SA season 14 has been navigating the music scene. Now that she's found her path, she is ready to unleash the music she's held back for the past few years.
Her music recording, titled New Era, is set to take place on July 1 in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, at the TMF Studios. She has made tickets available for her fans and followers to be a part of the experience of a new introduction to God through her music.
“I decided to record my music now because God was really pressing it on my heart. I live my life according to what God says and He put it in my spirit to go ahead, so it just felt right.”
The 22-year-old recently became an independent artist and said while it is not an easy task to tackle, she is enjoying the creative freedom she has over her work.
“I felt I had been writing music in my quiet time, where God would sing melodies to me, so I wanted to do it exactly how God wanted me to do it and how God has inspired me to do it without any other person's opinion or inspiration to go a different direction, so that is why I held some of the music until now.
“I love the part where I can do anything at any time, that it comes at a cost. I just see God coming through for me, through people, resources, sponsorships and friends in the industry. I just know that it's the right time and God has had my back because I'm not struggling. Yes, it's not easy, I'm not saying there is no pressure, but I think this journey has just emphasised trusting God.”
