UNIVERSAL Music South Africa has started a podcast hosted by former YFM presenter, Linda Mbuso.
The podcast, Closer 2 Music, will see Linda interviewing musicians from around the continent about their music and their lives.
Via a press release, the international record label said Closer 2 Music is a way for fans to know more about their favourite musicians.
“The conversation invites fans to be right there with their favourite musicians. The podcast touches on the artists’ personal lives, their inspiration, their build-up into the music industry, and their struggles and triumphs, as well as a lot of unknown aspects on the individual who’s the musician,” it said.
Universal Music said the podcast is also a way to join the digital world as most institutions have because of Covid-19.

“Fans have now been accustomed to consuming music and news of their favourite artists on alternative platforms besides the traditional media mode.

The first episode started on Wednesday, 21 April with Mi Casa. J’Something and Mo-T spoke about their journey from the beginning of Mi Casa to now.
