Spartz Motlhamme Shares Her Experience Of Working With Kabza. Spartz, birth name Spartz Motlhamme, is a young South African Afro Neo-Soul/World Musician. She was born on the 8th of June 1999 and proudly represents the streets of Alexandra Township. She is described as being physically 21, mentally 25 with an 80-year-old soul. This is a fitting description because the music that she makes is both polished and sophisticated.
Kabza dropped his latest project titled ‘KOA II’ and within that project, there is a song titled Ingabe which has registered more than 30 000 views on YouTube thus far. The song features newcomer Spartz Motlhamme. The 23-year-old vocalist from Alexandra in Johannesburg spoke on her musical journey and experience working with Kabza De Small.
“My mom inspired me to be the woman I am today. As a single mother, she didn’t have much but worked hard to provide for me and my three siblings. She encouraged me to use my voice as a tool to change my reality and even ensured I attended the National School of the Arts in Joburg, where I majored in music. I didn’t want to fail her, so I pushed myself.”
She was introduced to the producer two years ago, and when the opportunity came about in January to work with him, she grabbed it with both hands. “The recording process of Ingabe was an emotional experience for me. Like other young people, I wondered if I would ever reach my childhood dreams. Kabza and I aimed to make the song relatable to people who were striving to make something of themselves. You hear the emotion behind each lyric. Working with Kabza was super fun.”
Working with Kabza on Ingabe, the singer heard about Kabza from her boyfriend, David Ngoma, who is Kabza’s former manager. “What made the process of creating this song spiritual was us combining our different forms of artistry and the guidance from our ancestors in bringing out the message of the song. The journey was amazing.”
