MTHANDAZO Gatya (32) has announced that he’ll be joining Grammy winners John Legend and DJ Black Coffee in the studio.
This comes only a few weeks after his cover of John’s Nervous went viral and he was discovered by the American superstar on social media.
Black Coffee got involved after a Twitter user asked him to do a remix of Nervous with John and Mthandazo.

Mthandazo told Daily Sun he couldn’t let the opportunity to record with the two go, so he reached out to them on social media.
“I told them how this could be a life-changing opportunity for me. They listened and gave me a chance,” he said.
Mthandazo said he was over the moon to get this opportunity.
“I still can’t find a proper way to describe how I feel, but I am really happy,” he said.
Mthandazo said Black Coffee was more than willing to help and they were waiting for him to get time to get into the studio.
“After tweeps tagged Black Coffee to make my dream come true and he showed interest, I knew it was time for me to reach out to him. He assured me if John Legend was in, he was in.

“John Legend’s team has already sent us the files. Now we’re just waiting for Black Coffee to become available as he’s touring,” he said.
Mthandazo said big changes would not be made to the remix he already did, but he might tweak it a bit. “I’m giving it the same feel. I’m not sure if we need to change anything, but we’ll see.”
