It was just 3 years ago when I had just discovered one of Thato Jessica all thanks to The W Music Group as they pitched her for ‘Friday Night Live’ sessions which I used to personally host on Instagram through 30 minutes Live interviews unless the proposed guest was the only guest for the night.

The song ‘Masa’ with Mpho Sebina sold it all…

The song is genuinely a must listen to as it expresses the need to let go of things that no longer serve…
