Lebo Sekgobela Music

Lebo started singing at a very young age.  She went to a lot of auditions in order to get her music break but didn’t succeed. Some of the music groups she auditioned for include award-winning Gospel Choir, Joyous Celebration. She also auditioned for Idols SA but was rejected.

The ‘Lion of Judah’ hitmaker didn’t let this derail her or stop her from pursuing her dreams. She went on to build her own brand,  and today she’s one of the biggest artists in South Africa.

Lebo started her music career by singing at church events. She travelled with the famous preacher, Evangelist Ralekholela and sang at his tent crusade events.

She then went on to work with prominent musicians in South Africa. She was a backing vocalist for award-winning musician Vicky Vilakazi and worked with Joyous Celebration members such as William Sejake.

She was also the voice behind popular SABC 1 show Khumbulekhaya’s song.
