Joyous Celebration sensation Sefako Mamabolo is recording his second album.

The acclaimed gospel artist known to fans as Psalmist Sefako is set to record Christ Revealed live on May 30 at the Pretoria State Theatre in Tshwane.

Born and raised in the village Segopje outside Polokwane, Psalmist Sefako’s musical journey began in the church, where he sang and played piano from the age of 12.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Sefako said his early exposure to worship music earned him invitations to perform at weddings and churches throughout his community, building a fan base from a young age.

“Beyond my musical accomplishments, I'm also a qualified electrical engineer and have appeared in popular soap operas such as The River on Mzansi Magic and Lithapo on SABC2. I recorded my first demo in 2007, and after releasing my fourth studio album, I made a significant impact with my 2016 live album Ba Founela Modimo, recorded at the Breytenbach Theatre in Pretoria,” he said.

Psalmist Sefako is set for another milestone with the live recording of Christ Revealed.

“My growing influence in the gospel music scene led to an invitation to join the renowned MTN Joyous Celebration group, where I recorded the hit song Modimo ke lerato on Joyous 22. The track became a national sensation, followed by hits such as Ska sheba wa nnyatsa,” Sefako said.
