“I’m the sell out, and she’s the artist,” said Madcon’s Tshawe Baqwa to NRK Lydverket of his little sister.
Comparable perhaps to the Knowles sisters Beyoncé and Solange, Nosizwe Baqwa has chosen to take a rather more indie route to pop success than her big brother, though no stranger to the pop world having already worked with the likes of Madcon, Karpe Diem, Sofian, Paperboys, Sisi og Charlotte Thorstvedt. She’s also sung with the NRK Orchestra, on TV2, at Oslo Live, as part of a performance art piece for contemporary artist Anne Kathrine Dolven and headlined Lofoten International Art Festival in 2011.
Her music is a playful mix of pop, jazz, electronica and urban styles and last year made her live solo debut at Oslo World Music Festival. In November her released her first single “Do You” which is about having the courage to just well, be yourself.
“Focus on what’s inside you, be a positive person, try and spread just a little happiness and when you make other people happy, be happy.”
Nosizwe’s debut album will be released in the Summer.
