UMAMA Owangizalayo hitmaker DaMabusa believes when it's your time, it's your time.

The 27-year-old Afro-soul singer, whose real name is Johan Sithebe, is overwhelmed after his song hit more than two million views on YouTube. 

He told Daily Sun he now wants to inspire others with his music.

The musician from KwaMhlanga in Mpumalanga said he wants his achievements to make others work harder towards their dreams. 

DaMabusa, who was inspired by the award-winning TV and radio presenter Zola 7, said he started his music career in 2007.

He got his big break after the release of his hit single Umama Owangizalayo in 2022. The song was certified gold status for its music video and its audio.

He then released his album titled Izipho, which featured the likes of Mduduzi Ncube, Sdala B, Nolly M, SeeZus and Lungelo Hlongwane.

He said it was very great to work with them.

The musician said he released his latest single, titled S'yeke on 28 April 2023. 

"On my single called S'yeke, I worked with SeeZus as a producer. It was great working with him," he said. 

"I worked with Mduduzi Ncube on Angenzi Ngabomu and Lungelo Hlongwane on Imikhuleko, which are doing very great on all music streaming platforms. It's always an honour working with them," Damabusa said.

His wish is to work with Zola 7 since he has done great things in the entertainment industry.

"He is good, and his writing skills are on another level. I hope to do something big with him," Damabusa said.
