MBABANE – Eswatini’s rising musician As 4 JerryP has stepped further into the regional spotlight after meeting South African artist and producer Xowla Stallion.
The link was arranged through multi-platinum selling artist Sjava, who instructed Xowla to travel to the kingdom and connect with JerryP. This was confirmed by Upscale Entertainment Director Sibusiso Simelane, who said the move was aimed at opening more studio opportunities for the Mbabane-born star.
Xowla was in Eswatini over the weekend, performing at Zhumiao Lounge in Pigg’s Peak on Saturday before taking the stage at Scandza Bar in Siphofaneni on Sunday. It was at Scandza where he performed alongside JerryP, thrilling fans with a glimpse of what could soon grow into a cross-border collaboration.
