After performing at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival in England, Nomfundo Moh is delighted to receive international recognition and rewards.
The KwaZulu-Natal singer, born Nomfundo Ngcobo, is also a songwriter famed for Phakade Lam hit, says she is living her dream as far as her achievements are concerned.
Moh once sang about living a soft life and it seems her dream is coming to reality as she shared the global platform with top musicians such as Lebanese-British musician Mika.
Besides taking to the stage with award-winning musicians, she also received plaques as a pinnacle of her musical success, but her milestone is economic freedom.
Entertainment SA understands that Nomfundo was bestowed with gold and platinum plaques for her record-breaking songs from her commercially successful debut album Amagama.
Her top hit Phakade Lami has gone 6 x platinum, while Soft Life has been certified 3 x platinum – on top of that, her Ngam’khetha and Lilizela have both claimed gold statuses.
“To say I am excited is an understatement because this recognition is more like a dream coming true,” she said per SowetanLIVE.
“I’m very grateful for the international reception my music has been receiving. The past two to three years have been more of a rollercoaster ride that I never thought I’d be on. However, it has all been worth it.
“With my music career so far, I am able to afford things that I want. I have my own car. I can provide for my family…I also got to buy my mother a house, which brings me joy. I am glad that I can see the rewards of my hard work.”
Speaking about her most recent offering, the 23-year-old believes it will evoke nostalgia to her fans for many years to come.
“When I wrote Amagama, I had my family, friends, supporters and God in mind. I was merely saying to them that I have no words to describe how thankful I am for their support with the songs on the album,” she said.
She concluded that she wanted to thank those who had been with her even before she was famous.
