OUT

Age: 21

Location: Johannesburg

Ty had no idea he had entered Idols SA a second time until he received a phone call – turns out his girlfriend had secretly sent in a video “just to [see] if the show would call back”.

Now in the Top 12, he says his second time in the competition (he was in season 16’s top 31) has been “memorable, fun, and wholesome”. 

Describing himself as a woke dreamer who appreciates life, Ty’s musical journey started at a very young age – he comes from a very musical family. He realised he could sing in grade three, and it has been his passion since.

Influenced musically by artists such as Michael Jackson, Russ, Kanye West, A-Reece, and Chris Brown, he hopes to gain professional confidence from the competition. “I just want to have a solid foundation of who I am musically, and I need to be my biggest believer,” he says. He sees the competition as his first step into the music industry.

What can we expect when he hits the stage? “Viewers can expect a show. I will treat every performance as if it’s a gig. I will give it my all.”
