We asked Lloyiso [@lloyiso_rsa] to take a walk with us through London. What followed was a conversation about growth, pressure, loneliness, dreams, family, music and becoming.
First introduced to national audiences as a finalist on Idols South Africa at just 16, Lloyiso has spent the years since navigating the pressures of early fame while slowly rebuilding on his own terms. Rooted in his Eastern Cape upbringing yet shaped by a growing global perspective, his music carries an emotional depth that reflects themes of identity, resilience, and self-worth.
With Never Thought I Could, Lloyiso delivers his most personal and self-defined work to date; a project centred on vulnerability, growth, and creative freedom. Rather than chasing perfection, the album embraces honesty, inviting listeners to connect with both his story and their own emotions within it.
From the Barbican Centre to an intimate night in Hammersmith, Catch Up Wit is our first step into long-form visual storytelling. Honest, reflective and intentional.
No loud moments. Just real ones.
Catch Up Wit: Lloyiso is now showing on YouTube.
