Ntsika has just released his debut solo album entitled I Write What I Dream. He will be performing on the Moses Molelekwa Stage at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival on Saturday, 30 March 2019 at 10pm. I caught up with him, last week.
When I’m on stage.
Getting to change people’s moods instantly.
I like them more when they are part of life-changing campaigns.
I’d like to think of what drives me as “heightened confidence”.
Forgetting my lyrics on stage and making a comic meal out of it.
Dry red wine.
The Womad Festival in Spain.
My spiritual connection with music.
Fana Mayiza.
A superb professional soccer player.
Unapologetic, driven, musical, spiritual and genius.
Kulture Noir by Simphiwe Dana.
“As’bangeneni Majita” and it loosely translates into “it’s time; let’s show them what we are made of.”
Win a Grammy and an Oscar in the same year.
My debut solo album, I Write What I Dream.
Not singing enough, Lol. Once I start I don’t usually want to stop.
Waking up one day and not being excited about taking over the world.
Smile a lot and laugh at my own dry jokes.
“The will to win is not as important as the will to prepare to win.”
On a world tour.
Yes, I do. I conduct music workshops.
For I Write What I Dream to be a global soundtrack to people’s lives.
