Moving on with our favourite feature called, Rising Stars! This week we bring you our Rising Star no: 178. We caught up with another talented music producer who is ready to do miracles in the music industry.
Uginn Pilusa was born 20 years ago in a village called Dan, Tzaneen, Limpopo Province in South Africa but currently residing in Midrand, Gauteng Province. “Elvirgo” as populary known, completed his matric at DJZ high school in Nkowankowa.
“I started making music in 2018 after finding FL Studio Software in my sisters’ laptop. I went deep into it and began to fell in love with it. I then met a guy named “Cobra Nyoka” who is good with music, he did not really teach me how to operate it, I went on to learn by watching videos until I master it. I was glad to see my first song played in UK’s biggest Amapiano event in 2022. I was shocked because it is not easy to get your song played in such event!”, said Elvirgo.
Rise Africans Newspaper managed to listen to his other hit titled “Malume”, Amapiano remixed song from legendary Chicco Twala. The song came up after Elvirgo heard Chicco’s song being played at another tavern and people were having fun dancing to it.
“I decided to remix that song and posted on Tik Tok and it went viral within 24 hours. My biggest challenge as an artist was to get attention from music fans. I had a good music but was difficult for me to get it listened by my targeted fans. I market my music by using Tik Tok and is doing good. My advice to all upcoming artists is to never lose hope, work hard and reach out”, he added.
Elvirgo‘s fans can expect music video coming from next week. Rise African Newspaper wishes Elvirgo all the best in his career.
