She said she loves singing in other languages. “I released a snippet of a song in Chichewa, which is the language spoken in Malawi. The response was huge, so I’m going to start my rollout with that song. I have always done what I love and what I believe in. So, I will carry on doing that, which is music. I would say get off your phones sometimes. Live, create stuff, and learn other stuff.
“We took over the whole country, and I saw a side of Malawi I didn’t know. People are such a vibe. I’ve always had a pretty good understanding of the languages and people in this whole region, and it’s not new to me working this side. The response is amazing, and it just shows that we can do things in our own languages, something I have always done,” Sho Madjozi said.
She said she spent time travelling and growing her other interests in these past two years. The singer said she was busy building a children’s entertainment empire as well as her hair brand.
“I think people know I’m the kind of person that does what I like. I was enjoying the business side of things more at that time, and it’s only now that I feel free to enjoy my music again,” she said.
