INDEPENDENT artist Vukani Wonderboy Tshawuka, who goes by the name ‘The Art Of Rhetoric,’ has seen an upsurge of his career in recent times.

Having worked with several artists in South Africa and Malawi, ‘The Art Of Rhetoric’ released his new single ‘Where are you’’ on Friday whilst working as a solo musician.

He has proven to be amongst the country’s finest export talents.

“I've had the opportunity of working with international artists in the SADC region from South Africa to Malawi representing our proud monarchy with aplomb.

“My exploits beyond Eswatini’s borders in the past two years propelled me into releasing this solo project to inspire emerging artists from the country. I intend demonstrating to them through this release that nothing beats hard work and determination,” he said.

The excited youngster in the past few months released a music video shot and produced in Malawi as well as two songs whilst working with popular artist manager and talent nurturer Sibusiso Gwebu, well-known as Mr. Sey.

The title of Tshawuka’s new project ‘A Time in Manja’ is inspired by the place around Blantyre where he recorded his last released mixtape.

His career officially kicked off in 2017, and he mixes a variety of sounds from soft rock, Keltic music to house and jazz with a predominantly hip-hop genre. Tshawuka’s new undertaking will see the release of 35 songs that will be produced in three instalments all under ‘ A time in Manja’ project. Volume 1 is primarily by him, ‘Spokesman’, ‘Famous’ featuring: ‘Venan-Cio’, ‘Sage Poet’ and ‘Boy Magic’ as well as various producers.
