KHAYA MTHETHWA'S ART & WORSHIP' Khaya Mthethwa's new album comes after his 2018 release, All About Jesus. In an interview with Drum, he explained that his Art & Worship album was very self-reflective .

I am hoping that I am not just telling my story but that I get to echo what is happening in other people's lives. As a worship leader, you have to be in tune with everyone's heart around you, said Mthethwa.

I saw Khaya Mthethwa trending. What came to mind was that theater week performance on Idols where he was doing Nicki s Super Bass. He performed it so well and made it his own. He even got a standing ovation. An amazing singer he is uKhaya and very versatile .

JOINING KAYA 959 The former Idols SA winner was one of many radio stars who joined Kaya 959 this year. Mthethwa kicked off his new radio show, On That Note, in June.

This is my opportunity to get to experience some musicality in a different sense and get to play some of my favourite tracks and talk about some of that music as well, said Mthethwa to Drum.

A big chunk of the show will be conversations with some of the people who are behind the music we'll be playing. We are going to focus a lot on entrepreneurs, I love sharing stories about how small businesses are developing in the community and how they grow from being a hustler to handling a business.
