Sibusiso Xavier Lawrence Thwala / 23 / Freelance Entertainer of everything in the name of Arts
When did you fall in love with dance?
I’ve always loved dancing and entertaining.
What does being an entertainer mean to you?
It means everything to me, I feel alive when I am on stage. I also love watching choreography or stage direction I have created on big stage productions.
What other avenues are you involved in?
I have just started my own cinematography company called #X_FRAMES. I am also doing a bit of photography and videography for some artists. I work with BlackWorks Media too, I host events at different clubs and festivals and also do brand activations for various brands.
How much time does it take to choreograph a routine for a performance?
It all depends on the time the choreography is needed, but there are cases where you have to create choreography on the spot.
How do you select the perfect song for a routine?
Well, you pick a song that best brings out the creativity out of you, or a song you know will move people.
How many years have you been in the entertainment industry?
I have officially been part of the entertainment industry for ten years. My first paying gig was at the age of 13.
How many South African music videos have you been featured in so far?
I really have lost count…but I can proudly say that I have done music videos for most of the prominent artists in South Africa and North Africa.
The biggest highlight of your career so far?
I have three:
1. Black Motion performance at the MTV MAMA AWARDS performance, choreographed by me. –> https://youtu.be/B2fc1acRUAw
