This is a follow up interview with Uginn Pilusa, a (21) from a village called Dan, Tzaneen, Limpopo Province in South Africa but currently residing in Midrand, Gauteng Province. Populary known as “Elvirgo”, completed his matric at DJZ high school in Nkowankowa.
“It is always good to be back to our family newspaper, I have been busy making music as always. Exciting news is that I just signed a contract with big record label, Gallo Records and will be releasing a hot debut album this winter”, said Elvirgo.
Lots of upcoming artists think that you are a star if your music appears on small screen. His song with TallexQ title Malume 2.0 ft Makhadzi, Kabza De Small & Lxrd Mordeca was big and loved by his fans.
“We were being exploited by Makhadzi Entertainment so we just left since we were not signed but she claimed we were signed. However, it was a great feeling to be part of Malume 2.0 music video since it was a big song” he added.
It is never easy to make it big in the music industry, artists fall into wrong people’ s hands or bad record labels with a hope that their work will reach a massive audience. It is always wise to make research before falling into traps.
“Record labels use their capital to make artist’s work to reach out, so it is hard to make it as an independent because you cannot do all this by yourself if you do not have enough capital. My advice to upcoming artists is to keep working harder and release music, it can take long time but will make sense at the end”, concluded Elvirgo.
Fans can expect an album with 12 hit songs featuring legendary Sello “Chicco” Thwala, Jsmash, Philarmonic, Tye Waves, Lwami, Mphoel, Crooswavee and Mango Groove. We are proud to see an African child pushing hard to the top.
