Malibongwe Sithole’s late cousin, a gospel artist, inspired him to pursue music and guided him in making it. He grew up surrounded by churchgoers and gospel music.

“My love for music runs deep. I want to use my sound to mentor people through meaningful lyrics, give them hope, strength and the courage to keep going. I want my music to change lives,” he said.

Known to his fans as ‘Mr Paper’, he started making music at a young age.

“I used to sing in church, and by the time I was 15, I started recording my own tracks. That was the beginning of a journey that is still unfolding.”

He looks up to Sjava, Rodwave and Post Malone, and has worked with Vynokeyz, Dj Kingtara, Dj Stresser, Leerosoul and Mksoul.

Having dropped a few songs, his top achievement was his song Indalo, which landed him a radio interview. Sithole recently released a song titled Nkosi Yam, featuring Jose de Alto.

“I am warming up to drop my EP, 2woinOne, with Proz theFuture in September. I aim to be a pillar of strength through music while inspiring those who look up to me. I am beyond willing to change or help society by giving back to the community,” he mentioned.

He described his music as a reflection of life, his stories and life as a whole. Sithole concluded by saying he creates stories and heals through his voice.
