He holds a Bachelor of Commerce Degree in Economics & Finance, as well as a Post-Graduate Honours Degree in Entrepreneurship.
When he is not being a rebellious but inspiring teenager with his debating skills on our television screens, or being lusted over by Zodwa Wabantu, the young and ambitious Ntobeko is in studio recording music. The R n’ B singer is currently working on releasing his EP, which will have a relationship and heartbreak song in it, before the end of 2020.
His latest track, which recently dropped, titled IDC… short for I Don’t Care, came about when Sishi was still an intern at an Investment Banking Firm, he says, “It’s a melody that was inspired by a Drake song, and he’s one of my biggest influences. At the time I was going rough a rough break up and I decided to write about it.”
Ntobeko clearly has a bright future ahead of him and his parents must be very proud to have him as a son, the loss of his mother at a young age and now his father may have been the reason he has already achieved so much in his life.
May his father rest in peace.
