Nomvelo speaks to Briefly News about her career in music
Actress Nomvelo Makhanya shared exclusively to Briefly News that she realised her talent for music from a young age. She said her busy schedule limited her time spent on nurturing the talent.
"I’ve always known from a young age that I have a talent for music, but it’s something I’ve never really had the opportunity to pursue because of my work schedule. I started working very young and was constantly on set 5-6 days a week, 12 hours a day."
Nomvelo responds to a hater
After polishing her craft, Nomvelo announced that she was open to bookings. A hater expressed disappointment that she chose DJing as a career after making a name for herself in the acting industry.
"From being a good actress to this," the user said.
Not taking the insult lightly, Nomvelo said.
"Oh sweetie, i was born an ARTIST, not confined to just one role. it's amusing that people who don’t even know me from a bar of soap think they can box me into their limited view. i refuse to be constrained by anyone’s expectations, especially from those who don’t pay my bills. maybe you should find a hobby or something meaningful to do with your life instead of criticising mine. Oh, and btw, it’s AWARD WINNING actress. thanksbyeeeee."
Speaking to Briefly News, Nomvelo shared that she will release new music, and her fans should watch out for that.
"[Fans can expect new music] very soon, actually. I’ve been working and nurturing my sound, and I hope that it’s received with as much love as my acting has."
