Tshidi the budding Afro-pop star

Tshidi, as she prefers to be called in music, is a budding Afro-pop star whose self-titled album is sure to help her carve a niche in this tough industry.  She might not boast one of the best voices but she has enough talent to earn scores of fans. Given a good producer, this 25-year-old Kanye-born musician could turn into a shining diamond.

As they say, to be among the best you have to work with the best and what better way than come close to the genre's leading performer, Astely Gops. According to Tshidi, Gops has a good ear for raw talent, something that motivates her to work even harder. "Astely has always inspired me because when I was growing up I loved dancing and always wanted to one day venture into Afro-pop and it was an honour when he agreed to work with me on this album.
