Move over gospel music, there’s a new sound that God is grooving to, and it’s dance music!
Meet 33-year-old Thuso Wa Sibini, the Alexandra-born sensation who is blending the worlds of gospel and house music like never before.
Thuso’s journey began at the age of eight when she first sang at her local church. Since then, her talent has been cooking and waiting to be unleashed.
With the help of her Veritas FM colleague Tiiso Mosoeu in 1998, Thuso’s hidden potential was finally discovered and she was pushed to chase her dream of becoming a musician.
Now, the mother of two describes her music as “conscious house music” that combines her love for both church and dance music.
She believes that God might be getting down with the people on the dance floor, and her goal is to bring the two worlds together in her music.
“How do we know if God loves gospel music? For all we know, he might be getting down with us when we’re at a groove playing dance music,” Thuso said.
Thuso is relatively new to the industry, but she has already collaborated with some of the biggest names in the business, including Tribe Franko, King Monada, and DJ Mondlane.
Her music, released in 2021, is deeply personal. It’s infused with her own experiences and emotions, making her stand out from the crowd.
And Thuso isn’t planning on slowing down anytime soon. She’s hosting her first listening session at Cuisino Restaurant Melrose Arch on 10 April and she plans to release a single later this year. It looks like Thuso Wa Sibili is about to take the world by storm, and God is sure to be dancing right alongside her!
