Early Life
How old is Mmatema Moremi? She was born on 26th February 1992, making her 29 years old. She was born and raised in Zebeidelia, Limpopo, to Disego Moremi and Lucky Moraila. Her teachers identified her talent for singing as early as pre-school; she sang at the morning assembly.

Education and early musical pursuits
She attended the Dereke Kobe secondary school and began to get a lot of attention for her singing abilities. She later joined the Matladi secondary school, where she started making covers of her favourite artists' songs and experimenting with various backtracks.
This entire time her folks did not support her pursuing a full-time career in music. She only went full-time into music after leaving her parents' house.
When she joined the Tshwane University of Technology to pursue a bachelor's in technology, she joined the Reflex Raise, a choir. She decided to leave them and enter a more prominent choir, Tshwane Gospel Choir.

How did Mmatema become famous?
The budding star auditioned for the 9th season of South African Idols and surprisingly was cut on the first try. She did not give up on her dream to be on the show, and she tried again for the tenth season but only reached the group stage and did not proceed further.
SA Idols competition
She gave it one more shot in 2015, and after one fantastic audition, she became South Africa's sweetheart. Her first performance was a cover of Demi Lovato's Skyscraper. The judges were floored, and from that moment, her career trajectory changed forever.
Sadly in the SA Idols finals, she lost to Karabo Mogane, which disappointed several of her fans who believe that she was robbed of a deserving first-place win. The Daily Sun even ran a front-page story titled Our Idols was robbed!
Recording contracts and media company
Her loss was not in vain because she was signed to Universal Music South Africa after SA Idols. Soon after, she parted with the company to pursue a singing career in gospel music with Mmatema Moremi Media Productions.
What are some of her songs and features?
She has released one original Because of You a song produced by DJ Cleo. She has worked on the opening sequence for new shows on SABC, and she has been a part of Durban's Finest latest project. She has several covers on Youtube and is currently working on her new album.
