Thabo "T Nale" Nale new latest single titled ‘Lonely’ outnow #macburnersa

His upbringing

Thabo Nale, who goes by the stage name T. Nale, a young star from the South of Johannesburg, has been on many music lovers’ list. He grew up in many parts of the country including the dusty streets of Meadowlands in Soweto where his dream of being a performer was birthed, Durban and Johannesburg. His different experiences in these parts of the country have given him the ability to cultivate a unique sound that will resonate with people in any part of South Africa or Africa as a whole.

The young man is not only talented but also educated; he has a business degree which he studied for in England. T. Nale grew up with both his parents and grandmother supporting him in every way possible. “I grew up with both my parents and grandmother both nourishing me, sadly my gran passed away but that’s where I get most of my content from and my base,” he said.

 

T. Nale’s journey with music

Now firmly residing in the city, he has spent countless hours perfecting his craft and the art of
performance through music. “Talk about the music when you talk to me,” he mentions in one of the tracks on his album. Throughout his career, T.Nale has released 3 mixtapes of full album length and an official album, which can be found on all major streaming platforms.

The mixtapes, titled Charged, Friends Don’t Last and Courage, were all imperative in building him into the musician he is today. The young star, who does not want to identify himself as a rapper but rather as a musician, says he was still discovering his sound when he dropped the mixtapes at the ages of 19, 20 and 22 respectively.

In 2018 he released his highly anticipated single titled ‘Gamble Mama’ which is still making its
rounds on many radio stations. The music video has been published and certified on “Vevo” but he believes he has much more in store and promises a quality showing from here on out. In 2017 he was featured in Omen the Chef’s “Nomayini” single which was featured on Channel O and Trace shortly after its release.

His stand out verse on the track has allowed fans a fresh look on what’s to come next and insights into how the industry works. The vocal artist believes his breakthrough is imminent and he is looking to achieve award winning status in the South African music industry.

CareFul

 

The 24 year old hip hop, pop and R&B vocal artist dropped a 13 track album titled ‘CareFul’ last year. Trademarked with no features, one song stands out above the rest, ‘Attention’ is considerably one of his best works to date.

The upcoming single is a distinct look at the artist’s maturity and understanding of the everyday struggles within relationships as the single outlines the risks one has to take within their relationships in order to reach common ground. The single speaks to how important attention is in relationships and how, T. Nale’s in particular, is difficult to get and keep.

The musician says this single and album have unlocked a new level in his musicality. “Throughout my career, I have never felt more connected with my fans and my music. I truly believe in my work and can’t wait to give much more music to you,” he says.

T.Nale’s music stretches the audience perception and enables most to think outside of the musical walls. His passion is shown through the emotion he displays in his music with a very unique sound, it is very easy to identify the artist with almost every verse played. A sound that has been hidden to the South African ear will be hidden no more.
