Bra Maria, a talented musician from Mamelodi, just released her very first EP album! She’s been passionate about music since she was 14, singing her heart out at school and church.
She was born in Limpopo then grow in Mamelodi where she developed her love for music. She said she and her mother would sing together while cleaning, while other members of the household slept, and while preparing a meal for the family.
Bra Maria said her five-track album is a work of art, having collaborated with top talents in the music industry like DJ Mabulala Fashion-Tone. The songs on the album include “Mmangwane Mpulele,” “Thola Boreledi,” “Kokokoko,” “Bophelo Baka,” and “Le Ngoma.”
She started working tirelessly in the studio on her beats. She said her songs are about the things happening around her and people who are pretending to be good but are bad. “The tracks on the album have a message to people to be careful because there are evil people out there,” said Bra Maria. Her goal is to travel the world sharing her music.
She said she was inspired to sing by the artists she saw on TV while growing up. “That’s where my dream of singing started, and I am happy that my family supported me in the decision I made, and they are always by my side,” she said.
