Paxton / Artist
How has your timeline as an artist evolved since you came into the industry?
It has evolved drastically. I went from singing covers on my Instagram to performing for millions of people when I was on Idols. I then went on to record my first ever album in 2018 and travelled to places like Sweden, Russia and Los Angeles. I honestly would have never thought that I would be living out my childhood dream!
Your new single ‘Touch & Go’ is dropping tomorrow, is this your favourite song from the upcoming EP?
It is very hard to choose. I am deeply connected to every single song; they are all gems to me.
How has the industry changed since your debut album?
It has changed drastically; I think what I appreciate the most is how diverse and inclusive our industry is. South Africa is truly a hidden gem, and I will forever be inspired by the different sounds and elements we have to offer.
Who has been your biggest musical influence?
My biggest musical influences are Rihanna and Black Coffee.
What can fans look forward to from Paxton in 2023?
The fans can look forward to a very different and more vulnerable version of me.
