Mailo Music& Zain SA

 

Mailo Music

Today on the line we were joined by Mailo Music. Sivamthanda Thomas, an artist who comes all the way from Khayelitsha. He is best known for his versatile Dj and his music production.


The versatility that Mailo has ranges from house to all-round dance music. Today we had the opportunity to speak to Mailo live via telephone so that he could explain more about his creative process and also to discuss his latest track titled “BUYA”.

 


When our presenter Khusi asked mailo about how his career had started, he responded by saying that he realized early on that he had a talent for creating and playing great music, he then took a step further and entered one of the biggest reality TV shows at the time on SABC 1 named “1’s and 2’s”. It wasn’t long after that when he got crowned master of spin 2018 on that same TV program.


Continuing with the interview, Mailo mentioned that Zain SA, a friend that worked with him on the track was unable to join in on the call as he had gone to the Eastern Cape. Despite all that, the presenters of the morning cruise noticed that he sounded quite soft and tired. Mailo the responded and said that he was busy the entire night and early hours of the morning working on his album that is soon to be released.


The conversation shifted a different way when Jamie asked about what it was like to switch to a newly established music label.  He answered and mentioned that it didn’t come without struggle and nerves but ultimately it was about the sound and music they were creating at the time and he wanted to go with someone that understood the vision.

 

Ending it off on a strong note, Mailo told us that his album releasing in June is something to look forward too. He dropped a few names like Dj Tira and many more that will be featuring on this album and he hopes to take it with him to the world. He added that anyone who wants to catch him on social media can do so @MailoMusic on all social media platforms or @MailoMusic_SA.
