Director Statement

Hello, I am Sopzen, also known as Tebalelo Amukelani Monyela, a South African musical artist, songwriter, EDM producer, YouTuber, and entrepreneur. My journey in the world of music began at the age of 14 in Phalaborwa, Limpopo, where I started as an online music producer. Raised in a creative environment, I found my passion early on.

I attended St Patrick Mathibela for my primary education and Maphokwane High School for my secondary education, where I decided to pursue my love for music over traditional academics, ultimately leaving school in Grade 10 to dedicate myself to my craft.

My musical exploration led me to release my first single, 'Legends Don't Die, They Rest,' on Spotify in 2022. The positive response encouraged me to broaden my reach, and I subsequently made my music available on various international platforms, including Deezer, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon Music, Boomplay, JioSaavan, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram.

Known for singles like 'Chela Mmata,' 'Mamazala,' 'Faka Mfana,' and 'Ke Ngwana Wa Le Dhura,' I strive to create music that resonates with diverse audiences. My artistic journey is a fusion of electronic dance music, thoughtful lyrics, and a commitment to pushing creative boundaries.

Beyond the music, I am also active on platforms like YouTube, where I share my creative process, and as an entrepreneur, I am continuously exploring opportunities to expand my impact in the industry.

Thank you for being part of my musical journey. Let the beats and melodies connect us all.
