Mareledi tackles uncertain music industry

Koolebile told Arts & Culture that she could not promote her songs the way she wanted and as a result the song Pilara didn’t do well in the market. The song is about a mother whose role is more of a pillar of her family and Koolebile’s mother inspired it. The single features Zolasko who is also her producer. For a vocalist who would love to have a breakthrough in the music industry, Koolebile further said music to her is an epitome of simplicity and yet emits radiance. Koolebile comes from Mahalapye village and holds a Bachelor Honours Degree in Health Information Management from Botho University.

This young and talented Afro-Jazz singer believes every person has been entrusted with a gift and says hers lies in the path of music. "Music is in me, I believe it’s a part of me. My actual journey in the music industry started in 2015 when I visited one of the studios at DNX under Doubling Production where I went to free style. That was when I realised that I wanted to give it a shot in the industry," she said.
