“This EP means a lot to me, it’s an expression of my music. People know that I love love songs, it’s an EP that represents what I live through everyday.”, stated Mashudu.

Mashudu fuses invigorating amapiano rhythms with afro-soul for a sound that is full and robust. 

“Working with Shakes & Les has been one of my greatest adventures yet. I understand their sound and they understand my vocals so it’s been easy to work with them. The creative space on the day that we recorded was epic because I was anxious at first but, Les was so kind and patient with me and I found my rhythm easily after that!” - Mashudu.
