“I have produced talented artistes from home especially lady singers and I am confident their future in the music industry is bright,” he said.
He appealed to promoters in Gauteng province to consider upcoming artistes when organising shows.
“Promoters are many but they sometimes have their own favourite artistes. I appeal to them to consider a new artistes,” Mavasa said.
He also urged upcoming musicians to take their work seriously.
“Sometimes, promoters get frustrated by how some of the artistes conduct their business. Musicians should create good images in order to acquire good air play on radio stations,” he said.
