Thanks for joining us for another episode where we are excited to be sitting down with award-winning songstress and Yoga Practitioner, Thandi Ntuli. In this episode we explore Thandi's yoga journey, how it has influenced her music as well as her visions for the future.

Thandi was born on the 10th September 1987 in one of South Africa's largest townships, Soshanguve (Pretoria). She comes from a lineage of rich musical heritage, being the niece of guitarist, pianist and lead vocalist of 70's pop fusion band Harari (The Beaters), Selby Ntuli.

At the tender age of 4, she started taking classical piano lessons under the tutelage of Ada Levkowitz. However, her keen interest for jazz was only kindled later in life, leading her to enroll and complete a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance at The University of Cape Town.

Since the release of her debut jazz album, "The Offering" which she released independently, Thandi is fast making an imprint in the local jazz scene with her unique voice. "The Offering" has received critical acclaim as well as numerous awards and recognition since its release in 2014, namely a MetroFM award nomination for "Best Urban Jazz" in 2015.
