Grindstone takes over the music scene
A Nkowankowa born and bred musician, Nyiko Shingange, famously known to his fans and peers as Grindstone, is putting Tzaneen's flag high through his music.
Shingange says that he grew up surrounded by music as his family was very musical and he got interested in making music in 2009.
His first single was called ‘Yummie’ featuring Pyrex and it was recorded at the Wezz Matic studio.
” In 2014 I had my bedroom studio and that’s when I started taking everything seriously because of the love I was receiving from my neighborhood,” said the Musician.
The 20 year old was signed by a Cape Town based company, Creatives United, in February this year.
Creatives united is founded by two young Tzaneen entrepreneurs, Bheki Mashaba and Kurhula Nkwinika.
“We first spotted Grindstone, when we did an event in December last year in Nkowankowa where he was performing,” said Mashaba.
The rapper is currently studying Electrical Engineering at Sir Val Duncan in Phalaborwa.
Shingange added that he has many things that he still wants to achieve which includes putting Limpopo Rap music on the map.
