Khoisan other half embraces a solo career
Khoisan’s other half embraces a new solo chapter
Thabang Rasefako, a familiar voice from the delightful group Khoisan, is embarking on an exciting new chapter, spreading his wings with the launch of a solo career under the intriguing stage name Syke. This isn’t a farewell to Khoisan, but rather the genesis of a parallel musical journey, one that promises to showcase his unique artistry and creative evolution as a solo act.
The inspiration for this solo venture stems from a deep-seated urge to explore his craft and creativity as an individual, and to expand his brand as a standalone entity. “What inspired me to pursue a solo career was the urge to explore my craft and creativity as an individual and also to expand my Brand as a solo entity,” Syke shares.
Syke confirms that he won’t stray far from Khoisan’s musical direction entirely, but this new path embraces the flexibility to try new things and collaborate with artists he’s long admired. This newfound freedom hints at exciting partnerships and unexpected musical explorations.
Venturing into solo territory presents a fresh challenge, one that Syke is ready to embrace. “This is obviously new territory for me, I will have to see how to maneuver around both Brands,” he admits. “I know it won’t be easy but I am down for the challenge.” This dual commitment speaks to his dedication to both his roots and his blossoming individual artistry.
For listeners, Syke’s solo journey offers a chance to connect with him on a more intimate level. He aims to offer more than just his craft, truly presenting himself to the audience. “I wish to grow through my wins and failures,” he says, indicating a raw and honest approach to this new phase of his career. This openness promises a deeper, more personal connection with his growing fanbase.
While he’s keeping the musical details under wraps for now, Syke is already laying the groundwork for his brand. He’s collaborating with talented creatives, including cinematographer Benstar, who worked on the visuals for his upcoming debut single. Additionally, he plans to partner with local clothing brands and photographers, suggesting a holistic approach to his artistic presentation.
As Syke steps into the spotlight as a solo artist, the music scene in Gaborone and beyond eagerly awaits this exciting new chapter. With his blend of Afrobeat, Tswana lyricism, and a clear vision for growth, Thabang Rasefako, as Syke, is poised to make a significant mark.
