AFRO-SOUL singer and songwriter Thabo "Thibo T" Themba has lived his dream.
He said he's grateful to have worked with legendary singers such as Vusi Mahlasela and the late Jonas Gwangwa.
The 37-year-old muso told Daily Sun that he feels like he has had his fair share in the entertainment industry.
"Working with Vusi Masahlela and Jonas Gwangwa and Sol Shibambu was a dream come true for me. It was eye-opening to work with such legends," he said.
He said he'll always be grateful for the opportunity to have shared a stage with them.
"I was inspired by Vusi Masahlela, Jonas Gwangwa, Sol Shibambu,Luciano Pavarotti, Josh Groban, R Kelly, Teddy Pendergrass, and Boyz to Men. I did choral, opera, R&B, soul, as well as jazz," he said.

The musician said he started taking his music talent seriously when he realised he had a passion for it.
"That's when I met Zachariah Bongani Sibanyoni, known as Zaga Keys. He is my producer together with my publisher Cain Mokuwe of Cain AKA Sauwe Music Productions. Our first single, titled Ngizula Ngifuna, was released in 2020," he said.
The musician said it was an Afro-pop sound and he decided to take a different journey to opera amapiano.
"This is what we're busy with, so the reason for this genre it's that most people are not familiar with opera. We want to take it to the next level," he said.
Thibo T said he started his music career when he was 10 years old and he started doing opera, choral, soul, and others at school.
"I'm focusing on my album now. I would love to work with whoever is passionate about music," Thibo T said.
