With Guest: Sipho Zaca, better known as Glisten from Umbumbulu, is a rising star in the South African music industry. With a passion for music that dates back to 2010, Glisten has been making waves with his unique take on Gqom music. His big break came with the hit song "Mlilo Zasha," made with his team TVP Empiire, catapulting him into the spotlight. Collaborating with renowned Gqom artist Madanon on the 2023 album "Gqom Made Me Do It" only solidified his position in the industry. The album's track "Ama Vigina," featuring Mzamore and TsakzinWT, further showcased Glisten's talent and creativity, earning him recognition across Durban & Johannesburg. Continuing his musical journey, Glisten has released a string of successful albums and singles, including "Fix The Grom," "Endless Groove," and "Gqom On Fleek." His most recent album, "Gqom Made Me Do It II," is a testament to his dedication and growth as an artist, cementing his status as a force to be reckoned with in the South African music scene.
