Abdul Khoza / 31 / Actor & Musician
You’re fast becoming a household name in the South African entertainment industry. How did you make your debut into the industry?
I won an amazing show called Amstel Class Act (S2), that’s how I got my big break into the industry.
What would you be doing if you were not an actor and musician?
Since I was already a dedicated fireman, I would have continued my studies to be up the ranks as a Station Commander or Division Commander by now.
What was your plan for 2019 going into 2020?
More fire from Isibaya’s ‘Qaphela Ngwenya’ for sure, dropping music as a solo artist as well as more with my group, Audio Assassinz. I look forward to a lot of personal growth within my relationship, as well as with family and friends.
What does a day on set for you comprise of?
In a nutshell, it’s long hours, lots of running, many kicks and punches (when I do my own stunts), driving fast cars and shooting loud guns.
When you’re feeling demotivated, what or who inspires you?
A good workout (exercises & martial arts), good music, a good movie or a good book.
What’s your take on South Africa’s current entertainment industry?
I love the immense growth I see from all ages of the many multi talented artists of our country. Many of our talents in music and acting alike have gone global and become international super stars. Our local stars are multi tasking and juggling different careers, and are more independent now with their work.
That one thing you can’t leave the house without?
My smile and positive energy.
What does music mean to you?
Good music is therapeutic and it gets me through so many challenges in life. It motivates and inspires me to live life with a purpose and pursue greatness in all I do.
One trait that’s gotten you this far in your career?
Being grateful for all my blessings, whether big or small. Staying humble and forever appreciating every single day of life that I am blessed with.
