You’ve always been versatile with your music style. What inspired this genre and how did you come to work with DJ Khao?
[BUSISWA]: This genre is inspired by what has been trending, but what I have been doing before with Gqom, I wanted something that would mix well with Gqom and Amapiano and DJ Khao came along and that’s what he was doing, I really enjoyed experimenting with this sound.
How do you think you can add more of yourself to the phenomena that is Amapiano?
[BUSISWA]: I think I can add to Amapiano or any genre. I don’t want to obsess over the genres but I think I add to the South African musical landscape as an international act who can hold my own on any stage, anywhere in the world, and also on any station and platform and that’s what I know that I can stand out as an artist with global impact.
Any more international features we can expect in the near future?
[BUSISWA]: I’ve also done some international tracks with my favourite artists from West Africa, and the UK, so I’m hoping that there will be a lot of international features that are going to be released included in the projects or just singles of their own, I’ve also been contributing to other people’s projects, myself, hopefully those that will come out for the world.
If you ha the opportunity to collaborate with in the future, who would you love to work with and why?
[BUSISWA]: I would love to still work with people like Yemi Alade, and Burna Boy, locally I would love to work with Black Motion as well as acts like the electronic, and afro tech acts like Da Capo, still very keen to work with a lot of artists.
Is there a project that we can expect? If so, who are you working with?
[BUSISWA]: There’s a project that can be expected, but I will just give it time I am not rushing to drop off a full project, I think singles are working for me but in terms of who I’ve been in the studio with, I’ve been in the studio with people like Lady Du, MaWhoo, Deepsen and KingTalkzin.
