Mkhize)
Legendary multi-faceted music mogul and
businessman Lindelani Mkhize will yet again present his Ignite music showcase to Durban audiences on December 22, 2017. The
lifestyle, music and development event takes place at the Presidential Atrium
of the Moses Mabhida stadium-which will be transformed into an arena - a first
for the venue.
Guests will literally ‘walk the President’s
walk’ and can look forward to VIP treatment fit for royalty. From
chauffeur-driven -rides, to an extravagant red-carpet experience and a musical
showcase by SADEC’s raw talent who have been mentored and trained by Mkhize
himself-Ignite 2017 promises to wow!
“As a result of the pressures of daily life
and responsibility, by the end of the year we are tired and all we want is to
unwind. The Ignite lifestyle and music experience is the perfect outlet,
designed to ease you into the festive mode through the merging of fashion,
food, song and dance. Dress up, look good, feel good and indulge in some
well-deserved VIP treatment. The first edition of Ignite was a great success and, it is with great excitement that I
present this year’s edition of Ignite” said Lindelani Mkhize, the founder of Ignite and chairman of Contento Group.
Mkhize has described this year’s Ignite journey as fulfilling and worth
the long days and sometimes sleepless nights. As part of a gruelling selection
process, unknown young up-and-coming artists are invited to submit their music
material via the Ignite social media platforms in a bid to make the final cast
which will perform at the event on December 22.
The 60-member cast is predominantly made up
of young people from different backgrounds who share a passion for the creative
arts, and all they need is for someone to believe in them and give them an
opportunity to showcase their talent. Ignite provides a platform for these
artists to receive the training, mentoring and exposure they need to begin
building their music careers.
“In the past we have marvelled at the
development of our young cast from the exposure, from the likes of Nelisiwe who
has since took on a spotlight through the famous soundtrack of TV series Lockdown ‘mama kaBafana’; Zinhle Madela
from Mandeni who has since released a single with DJ Nastor; and is now getting
bookings from event managers; as well as the Vosloorus duo Siyakha Khitha &
Khaya who have since been invited to join the Joyous Celebration cast as a
result. We are confident that Ignite
is really igniting the careers of young creatives, and this is our way of
giving back to an industry that has given and continues to afford us with so
much.” Mkhize continued.
Tickets R290 for silver, R470 for gold and
R1500 for VIP Platinum available at Computicket.
