Freshly Squeezed w/ Lethumusa

In our first Freshly Squeezed episode, we’re heading across the border to Eswatini to track the evolution of one of the region’s most electric musical talents. We’re breaking down the strategic rebrand of Stickx, the high-energy DJ who dominated the decks, into Lethumusa, the soulful composer taking over the charts. It’s a masterclass in brand evolution and artistic maturity. Key Takeaways The Identity Shift: Why the name "Stickx" (synonymous with Amapiano and House energy) was retired in favor of his birth name, Lethumusa Simelane, to reflect a deeper, Afro-Soul sound. The Career Catalyst: A look back at the game-changing tour with South African superstar Shekhinah and how it transitioned him from a local hero to a SADC regional powerhouse. The "Soul Therapy" Sound: Exploring his influences—from the rhythmic precision of Black Coffee to the "Private School" Amapiano vibes of Kelvin Momo.
