Lloyiso receives shout-out from singer Chris Brown
Lloyiso’s mellifluous vocals have skyrocketed his career beyond borders, garnering him more attention from international stars by the day.
The singer had his fans marvelling at his international stardom after American R&B singer Chris Brown shared on Instagram stories Lloyiso’s single, Run, from his debut EP, Seasons.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE about the single previously, Lloyiso shed light on the inspiration behind it.
He created the song with Earwulf and Grammy Awardwinning producers Mr Hudson (who has produced songs for John Legend, Janelle Monáe and Jay-Z) and Stargate (who has been behind songs for Beyoncé, Rihanna and Sam Smith).
“Run is about breaking those boundaries that hold you back from living your best life.
“It’s about letting go of those fears and letting your mind free,” he said.
Since entering the singing competition Idols SA, at the age of 16, Lloyiso has grown from strength to strength.
He has performed for David and Victoria Beckham and made history as the first SA artist to sign to Republic Records.
Lloyiso said he was confident his talent would attract international attention.
“I’ve always known I’m meant for global [success].
“I never thought to myself that I’m going to be an SA artist.
“I always thought I was going to be touring the world.
“My plan was to release as much music as I can and get myself out there as much as I can so I can travel the world and just be myself.”
