Sivuyile has created an entertainment company that protects it’s artists from unsafe and unhealthy venues, he finds unique artists that have a local talent.
He’s got a winning smile and an open face. Sure he is happy to share about himself, he says when asked what he does.
“My name is Sivuyile, I was born in the Eastern Cape, and moved to Johannesburg with my family when I was 5. As a teenager I moved from Emmerentia to Diepsloot because of money problems and I attended Ferndale High. I studied photography at VEGA and Business Management at Technisa. “
“I’ve always been passionate about music and after school I started Triple P Entertainment. The three Ps stand for Passion, Pain, and Pleasure because life has taught me that when you chase your dreams you will inevitably come across pain, but in learning to work through the pain and learn from it you will receive pleasure in the end. “
Sivuyile realized that in the cosmo city where he lives, there are a lot of talented young people – talented musicians, dancers etc! They have nowhere to perform except for in local taverns which is a very unhealthy environment for them. There is alcohol and drugs, and they shouldn’t be exposed to that.
“The dream I had was to create an entertainment company that would allow the youth to be able to showcase their talent in a safe, healthy environment and to have a platform where I could promote them.”
He hosted an event at one of the local parks, away from alcohol and drug temptation. He hired a sound system. Sivuyile took pictures and videos himself which he then used to promote the local talent.
“It was a roaring success. I mostly do promotions and music recordings which I send on to agents.”
When asked what one of the most important things is that he has learned over the years, he replied:
“When I take care of my body physically, this also helps to clear my mind of junk.”
