Gospel sensation Thinah Zungu has inspired his son to follow in his footsteps to become a gospel as he just released an album.
Entertainment SA understands that the nine-year-old gospel singer, Ndumiso, has been entertaining the public and church congregants for the past four years.
The young singer has finally released a single titled Akasoze Akulahle last week. The song is a duet between him and his father who doubles up as a pastor.
SowetanLIVE reports that Thinah’s son performed at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) Exam Prayer Session last year on his behalf and left people asking for more.
“He started singing at the age of five but his voice has really matured. I realised that he was ready when he sang at our church alone singing to a big audience. I could see that he can handle performing in front of people,” Thinah said.
“But he has been performing all my songs and he knows all my music. I thought let me release him now. I then started working on his music which is now out.”
About the new single, Zungu senior stated that the response from the public has been good.
“People welcomed him. Organisers were sceptical when I sent him to perform on my behalf at UKZN after I had missed my flight from a performance in Joburg,” he added.
“I did not want to cancel the show or come up with excuses, so I sent him to perform. The audience was happy with his performance. When I have shows, I normally take him with me.”
Zungu who also started singing at Sunday school believes that his son has more talent than him.
Still doing Grade 4 in Durban where he is now learning to play his favourite instrument – drums, the young artist is planning to release another single before the end of 2023.
