Johannesburg - This week we feature young up-and-coming musician Singhita.
The 15-year-old launched her music career with a debut hit single, “That Kinda Girl”, released to critical acclaim. The song solidified her spot on the red carpet and opened up a platform for her to showcase some other incredible talents.
The youngster is also an aspiring model, actress and avid equestrian.
In 2020, Singhita auditioned for the International Arts Talent Showcase (IATS). It was then that she began to take her singing more seriously and a possible career in the arts began to flower. In 2022, she penned her second single, “My Heart”, released in February 2023. By writing about things that she has experienced in her own life, the song becomes relatable, especially for people her age.
