With her latest release, Mokenti brought together a few talented producers and recorded at different studios such as Drumpries Studios by Guffy Keipeile, DJ Call Me Studios by DJ Call Me, Limkings Records by DJ Bazzy and DJ Bino. Sygosh, as the singer is also known, explained that the song was inspired by the ancient tale of Chiwele she learnt at a young age that taught her that children should always listen to their elders or parents.
Born at Borotsi in Tswapong village, Sygosh started her music career in 2006 as a dancer at Muslims Crew. She later started her music journey where she released House Kwasa songs but this year she decided to release a single dubbed Ha kena Motho, which is a commercial house music. "There is a Setswana saying that 'Ngwana yoo sa utlweng molao wa batsadi o utlwa wa manong' meaning that a child that does not listen to elders advises end up regretting it because of bad decisions they make in life despite having been warned about the outcomes of their actions. Most of my songs on the album are about Gender-Based Violence (GBV). I was once abused physically and emotionally.
Ha Kena Motho, Setlhako Se Fisa Morwadi and Monna Ha Ntshwenya (Nthwe Monate) are saying a lot," she pointed out. So far, the singer has three albums and five singles under name. She explained that the public accepted her work more this year than the time she was doing House Kwasa. She said they love her songs and performances. She said sometimes she would get calls from unknown people applauding her for the good music. She added that she wins over new fans every time she performs at some events. "Chiwele album is the best of me.
I believe I worked so hard and would love to release a music video soon. I am planning a very big album launch and would love big artistes like Vee Mampeezy, Franco, ATI and DJ Call Me to come and support my hard work. My music is different because I used my Setswapong language and the way I sing makes it unique," she said. She bemoaned the lack of support from local promoters. She further stated that local promoters want them to pay them big amounts of money that they do not have. She added that local artistes do not want to support each other for the benefit of the industry.
