From Kwamashu to Greatness – A Real Talk with Lloyd Cele

What a powerful and inspiring chat with Lloyd Cele!

We journey back to his humble beginnings in KwaMashu, walk through the highs and lows of his Idols SA journey, and unpack how being the runner-up actually launched a phenomenal music career.

Lloyd opens up about fatherhood, the heartbreaking loss of two children, and how he still shows up as an incredible dad to his three kids. We also dive into our shared experience of cross-cultural marriage and wrap things up with his brand-new track.

Real stories. Real heart. Don’t miss this one.
