About Thuba

Gqeberha born, national stage

Thuba's journey began at just 18, when his charisma and powerful voice earned him a place in the Top 14 of Idols South Africa season 5 in 2009. Since then he has built a versatile career as a singer, MC, songwriter, recording artist, vocal director, actor, voice-over artist and television presenter.

Whether he is performing solo, leading a band or sharing a stage with celebrated artists, his performances are marked by sophistication, energy and an innate ability to connect with any audience in the room.

As one of Centrestage's most high-profile artists, Thuba MCs top corporate events and sings across a wide range of styles - from the elegant sophistication of Michael Buble to fronting rock and roll shows such as The Magnificent 80's, which he also directed vocally.
