It’s Never Too Early to Build a Music Career
Felepina is an RnB singer, currently doing an amapiano song. She chose amapiano because of her love for dancing and good vibes. She embarked into singing at an early age of 8 after she got inspired by artists like Rihanna and Beyoncé. This little girl would go on to release her first single in 2020. Here is her recent Q&A with CW:
Tell us about you and what you generally do?
Generally I do my school work, go on social media and watch TV during my free time or when I’m bored I dance or write music.
How old are you?
I am 12 years, I was born in 2010 in Selebe Phikwe.
Why have you chosen a music career at this age?
I have chosen a music career because it is what I enjoy and what I am mostly good at.
Are you involved in any music stuff at school?
At this moment of time I am not enrolled in anything music club or subject at School because we do not have music lessons.
When did you venture in the life of music?
I ventured into the life of music at a very young age, around 5 years old but I started recording music at 10 years old.
What kind of music do you perform?
I perform RnB and amapiano music.
Is it easy to make your way up the industry at this age?
No it is not easy because you need to keep up with a lot of things like school and your music which are very important to me and it’s hard to focus on both at the same time.
As a young artist what are things that limit you?
My school work limits the amount of times I could write as many songs as I want and it also limits how much I go to the studio. It is really hard.
How do you go about resolving them?
I really don’t know how I do it, I just go with the flow but what I can say is I am not managing but I am trying.
So what else do you aspire as a young girl with dreams?
I would say I am aspired by Pabi Cooper as an amapiano artist and for RnB I would say Billie Eilish. They are just amazing and never disappoint, they always bring great food to the table and I want to be like them.
So one day where do you see yourself as an artist?
I see myself performing at big concerts and going outside Africa, being one of the most successful children in Botswana.
Have you recorded any projects as of late?
Yes, I do have some projects for music and modelling but I don’t promise them to come out any time soon because of school.
Whom do u aspire to work with in music?
I aspire to work with Pabi Copper.
Any projects u are currently working on?
Yes, I am working on an amapiano song.
