Actress Nomvelo Makhanya launches music career as a DJ. Former Scandal! actress Nomvelo Makhanya opens up about her newly launched DJing career.
The star has joined the likes of Pearl Thusi and Thulisile Phongolo who jumped from being actresses to DJs.
Nomvelo who has taken a break from acting has a professional name for her music career which is Mvelo.
“I started with DJing. I was in the studio trying to get my vocals and I decided to figure things out in the studio and I started doing DJing classes with Lebza The Villain, I was learning from different people. I was part of Soulistic, it was my management, but I’ve since parted ways with them,” Makhanya said to TshishaLIVE in a recent interview.
“It was something I needed to do personally for myself. I needed to release the character by not doing that type of work and focus on music. But I’m back attending auditions. I miss acting, I’m crossing my fingers for something.”
“The music inspired me and [it] doesn’t matter whether I’m singing, acting or DJing. I’m healing people through that. My talent in acting would heal people in their homes and educated viewers. The same goes for my music or DJing career, it delivers the same energy.”
Nomvelo said she plays Afrotech and Afrohouse; she also urged her supporters to anticipate her music release.
