Thando is a superstar vocalist, incredible songwriter and much loved Zimbabwean-born “First Lady of Soul and R&B.” Every performance is a statement – a triumph of powerful lyricism, rich-ranged vocals and smooth backing instrumentation. Her sell out concerts and crowd-pulling headline festival performances have wowed audiences across the nation. Her cabaret style theatre shows have stunned audiences to the point of standing ovations and rave reviews. Be prepared to be wowed.

“The consequence of being a palatable black person accepted by white Australia is losing every part of what made me special.”

Thando’s music touches on growing up Black in Australia and highlights her struggles with displacement, discrimination and the unrelenting forces to assimilate.
