His latest studio album has recently surpassed an impressive 42 million streams on major music platforms since its release. Not only does this showcase his exceptional musical skills, but also his keen eye for collaborations having worked with a few iconic South African artists on the album. Collaboration is key in Red Bull SoundClash, as both team captains will have to put together a team that they will be performing with on the night. Does Sjava have the magic formula figured out? We shall find out on the night.
“I’m excited to be one of the first South African artists to be chosen for Red Bull SoundClash. My team will be bringing all the fireworks, dedication, and passion to their artistry. People will be surprised by my team, and I hope everyone enjoys the music at the end of the day. That’s what makes South African music unique.”
The second stage will be taken over by Focalistic aka President ya Straata who promises to bring energy ya straata to Red Bull SoundClash by keeping the audience on their feet throughout his entire performance.
“The energy level will be massive on the night, and I promise to bring all the cool, swag and the atmosphere only South Africans know how. I’m very excited to be part of Red Bull SoundClash, the music and catalogue is huge now, and I plan to bring that to the stage.”
