Living ‘The Dream” with Tee-Jay

I caught up with one of FRQNCY Music’s upcoming artists, Tsietso Letlojane, also known as Tee-Jay, for a quick interview. He has already performed at various music festivals across the country with well known musicians and groups like Mafikizolo, The Soil, Donald, Zahara, Ringo and many more.
Please checkout the interview below:

Firstly, who is Tee-Jay is and where he’s from?

– Tee-Jay is a young, vibrant singer/songwriter from Carltonville, West of Johannesburg.

Carltonville is known to be a small community, how was it like growing up there and then breaking into the music industry, did you get a lot of support?

– Growing up in Khutsong with no exposure and facilities to help me get to where I needed to be was not easy. I faced many challenges trying to pursue my music career on a professional level but in my 20s I made friends with local producers with bedroom studios, that’s when I was able to record demos and try break into the music industry.

Were you always a music lover?

– I’ve always aspired to be a musician, in Primary School I was part of a boys’ choir and later in High School I became a choir master. I was always known for my husky and soulful voice.

Let’s talk about your latest single titled “The Dream“, quickly. What was the inspiration behind the song?

– The song is inspired by real life situations that I think everyone goes through in life. It’s a song about being in love with the woman of your dreams and that dream being a reality. It’s an audio love letter that anyone across the globe can dedicate to their loved ones.

Nice, so where can people listen to or download “The Dream“?

– The song can be streamed and downloaded at www.soundcloud.com/frqncymusic. It will soon be available for purchase on iTunes and all digital music stores.

Lastly, are you working on an album, and if so, when is it due for release?

– I’m currently working on an album and I’ve recorded almost half of it, if not more. There is no release date yet but it will definitely be later this year.
