Multi-award winning South African singer Lloyiso has been taking the country by storm with his recent The Elephant in the Room shows charting across Cape Town, Gqeberha and Johannesburg.
In partnership with Stella Artois, Lloyiso’s first national headline tour gets its name and inspiration from the artist’s passion for melodic poetry, his clan name "Ndlovu", meaning elephant, as well as the English idiom about a well-known topic everyone is too uncomfortable to address.
Keeping up with the jet-setting songster, we find out what goes into his love for travel sites around the globe.
A heavenly experience. All I can say is that I've got the best musicians playing for me, a five-piece band with the best stages. We've got all the lights and visuals — all the drama!
But you can also expect a story of my life, a small-town boy who went to Idols at 16 to the star that I am now. It's a journey on who Lloyiso is.
Three essentials I have when touring are ... my cologne, which really helps a lot with anxiety and smelling good. I always smell good. If I don't smell good then I stress out. I don't pack honey, I know a lot of musicians pack honey for their voice, but I feel like I have strained my voice enough that it doesn't crack any more.
I also pack underwear and my ID or passport.
