Zoë Modiga

Palesa Nomthandazo Phumelele Modiga, professionally known as Zoë Modiga is a South African singer and songwriter. Quotes Interviews for me are as enjoyable as much as the good research has been done. So, the better the research, the more enjoyable it is for me, the better the vibe, the more enjoyable for me. And obviously that means that the opposite is also true. So, if it is not well researched and it’s not like there isn’t some kind of wanting to be there by the interviewer, then I feel like I have to work a lot harder, which makes it not as fun. I normally won’t show that on my face, but I do have real opinions about it. I like to be able to share with the person interviewing and to the music lovers at large. It’s something that I don’t mind doing as long as it’s fun. When I was in grade four, our class went to a dentist excursion thing and the dentist was really kind, awesome and handsome, and he gave us these lucky packets afterwards. So, after that I was like, oh, I want to be a dentist, but I think music has always been the end goal. I just didn’t know how it would happen or what it would be, but music was just there much longer than anything else and it was always the thing that I would do. I think I find inspiration from everything hey. I find inspiration from observing life around me, the experiences of other people, from my own personal experiences and opinions, from perfect strangers and loved ones and other kinds of music and art forms. I find inspiration from absolutely everything and I think my time to create it was always in the evening, but I realized that music comes when it wants to come. So, that could mean absolutely anything. It could be 1 a.m. It could be 12 noon whenever the music comes then that’s when I create. But I’ve I always thought I was more of like a night owl. It’s been every kind of human emotion that you can attach to life and sharing. It’s been glorious, it’s been victorious. It takes a lot of bravery and a lot of courage. I felt unworthy, I felt supported, I felt anxious, but I’ve enjoyed it. But knowing that it’s been eight years is actually so crazy. “Yellow: The Novel” was my debut album, and I was very green. I did not know too much about the industry I was getting into. I just knew my love for music, and it’s been the gift that keeps on giving. With “INGANEKWANE” I got to really share it with a whole lot of people because it was the lockdown and we had nothing else to do. It’s really beautiful to get music lovers from that era. With “Nomthandazo”, it’s been beautiful to really celebrate how the journey has been with everything that has come.
