About Tshego
Originally called Tshegofatso Ketshabile, Tshego was born in the US when his parents, who are Church ministers, were studying in Atlanta, Georgia. He is a singer, producer, and songwriter. The artist started visiting South Africa from an early age of four until he finally settled in Mafikeng in 2002. Naturally, he could have settled in the US, but since the better part of his musical talent was developed in South Africa, he chose to practice from there.
Tshego was fortunate to have liberal parents who believed that a child could excel more when they are given the space and freedom of expression. For that reason, his mother allowed him to keep exploring until he would discover his talent.
It has never been clear why he ventured into music, but when asked about it, he said: “I do music because I simply fell in love it.” By the age of five, he already appeared on stage to express his musical talent.
Tshego tried learning to play many instruments, but due to an element of impatience, he never quite mastered even one. This included the guitar, piano, violin, and drums. “My mom used to advise me to choose one instrument, master it first before moving to the next one but I couldn’t listen. Now I understand why wish I listened!”
