Tshedi Mholo goes gospel

Singer Tshedi Mholo has decided to go back to her gospel roots. She will be showcasing her singing talent with a show at Joburg Theater on 30th June.

The show is set to feature upcoming musicians in the gospel industry.

“I’ve always been a big believer in giving back and giving others a platform to excel.”

Of her return to gospel, she said: “We have to start somewhere and explore other genres within our talent range before going full circle.

“I’ve always known I’d end up going back to gospel music. It took me a long time to go back into studio – learning new sounds to be able to evolve. I had a light bulb moment where gospel kept pulling my soul back to what I know best.”

As much as she will be doing gospel music, Tshedi will however not turn her back on Afro-pop.

“I’m not recording a gospel album or anything like that. This is a performance that I’ll be doing as part of the annual performances I do, and this time I wanted it to be gospel music. It’s about spending time with God and just being in an atmosphere of praise and worship. I want my supporters to have fun and to also get back in touch with them.”

Gospel music has always been part of Tshedi, especially with her parents being active members of the church.

“Gospel has always infiltrated my life. The competitions we used to win back in school were always because of the gospel performances and even before Malaika people who know me as that North West-born township girl know what gospel does to me.”
