Wave Rhyder will go head to head with artists, including Samthing Soweto and Nigeria’s Davido at this year’s All Africa Music Awards in Nigeria. Photo: SuppliedA Lesotho-born star is successfully riding on the musical waves in South Africa and the continent.
The 23-year-old got his big break last year and has three singles under his name. It was his third song - Wa Nkutlwa Na - that caught people’s attention. He is now competing for the Best Male Artist - Inspirational Music at the Afrimas.I am happy about the nomination. It's my first nomination, so it is special to me. I did not expect my song to do this good. Yes, like every song, I did to do great, but this is truly amazing and humbling.
