Touchline

Early life and Career

Thabo Mahlwele is the birth name of the muso who has since become famous as Touchline. His encounter with music dates back to when he was a teenager. According to him, he started recording music when he was 17.

 

 At 13, he was already writing lyrics in the tradition of the American rapper Eminem.

Eminem wasn’t the only influence on him musically. In his teenage years, he was listening to the music of local champs like Linda Mkhize (PRO, also called ProKid) and ProVerb. ProKid’s music especially made him realize that music was his calling. So he plunged into music and has not looked back.

 

Football buffs who had watched Touchline’s evolution from football to music star will readily tell you that music stole Touchline from them.

As he would admit later, he delved into music because he thinks he would reach many people through the medium than through football. Looking back, it is not a decision he regrets. Music is already stamping his name in the hearts of the music-loving public.

 

Touchline has released many songs already, including “The 16 Flow,” “Still Here” and “Smokolo” and many more
