Mpho Sebina is a singer songwriter hailing from Botswana. I discovered her music through mutual friends who’d shot some of her videos. There’s something about her voice- it’s soothing, transporting, ethereal yet grounded, full of emotion, I just love it!
Hailing from Botswana, Mpho studied international business in Malaysia before pursuing a full time career in music. And I’m glad she did, music is better off with her in it.
In 2017 she released a 6-track EP, Neo, released a single called Masa with Thato Jessica in 2019 and is currently working on new material that I hope we get to hear very soon. We talk about her musical trajectory - shifting from studying business to a career in music. We talk about her influences, singing in her native Setswana - of which personally I’m a huge fan, Setswana is such a lyrical language. Mpho is softly spoken, even her speaking voice is soothing and melodic, I think you’ll see what I mean…
