“Music is my life. It is a part of me,” says Nandi of her passion. Her love of music began at an early age, thanks to her musical hero – her father – who is also a musician. It was through spending time with him in the studio that she initially found an appreciation for the art. 

She describes herself as a people’s person who is also hard-working.

Nandi is no stranger to the stage as she has been performing from a young age as part of her church choir, then later on at the Market Theatre. She has also consistently recorded her own music but hopes for the Idols SA stage to give her more exposure and a growing fanbase. 

Describing herself as a fearless performer, she says viewers can expect to see “something different” when she takes the stage.

She is excited about the live shows, something she sees as an opportunity for the whole country to experience her talent. “You can expect a va-va-voom! I’m going to give it my all.”
