Monde Msutwana started singing early, around age six or seven, he says, “but only I took it seriously after I passed my Grade 12 and didn’t know what to study, and so I went to a music school.” But he also studied Communications Management and got a job as a Marketing Assistant at a record company, to learn the music business from the inside, and he also moonlights as a standby presenter at Radio Platinum. No wonder Monde says when he has spare time, he tends to sleep it away! Monde lists some of his musical heroes as Bobby McFerrin, Anthony Hamilton, R Kelly, Kenny “Babyface” Edmunds and Quincy Jones – “in an encompassing way, all athletes who strive to do their best in everything they do,” he says.
