“Mama I made it to New York Times Square!”
Former Idols SA contestant and Adele’s ‘competition’, Lloyiso, is lighting up the Big Apple and ticking off his dream list one milestone at a time!
New York, USA (11 April, 2023) — Lloyiso’s voice has travelled a long way from the Eastern Cape where his story began. From braving the Idols SA stage to giving Adele a run for her money with his rendition of ‘Easy On Me’, the young artist has made all who hear him around the world, glad they did.
Now, he’s earned his spot as a ray of light in Times Square, New York where he gazes at a hive of power walkers passing by as many great musicians before him have done.

The singer, songwriter and producer became known for making people do a double-take with his voice a few years back after trading a brief appearance at university for the artist’s path. Trading song for meals (and anyone who would listen) eventually became a far cry from the past. Once he took to social media (especially TikTok) during the pandemic, it wasn’t long until his voice became honey to millions, unlocking emotions many had forgotten were there.
In fact, his bio even encourages some tear-shedding.

And, some users even preferred his numerous renditions (though his own music is paving a league of its own).
With the ability to bring different African languages to the world and a wave of emotions in the way of the greats that inspired him (like Sam Smith), Lloyiso’s Times Square spotlight has South Africans beaming with pride.
Never mind not winning Idols, he’s won the hearts of the world.
