Test: Zoë Modiga talks life, her career and her sophomore album #Inganekwane

GLAMOUR: Who would your dream musical collaboration be with and why?

Zoë: I have so many artists I’d love to collaborate with that it's always difficult to put them in a list. I’ll say right now the artists that are mutually keen to collaborate are Nakhane and Bongeziwe Mabandla. They are beautiful artists and incredible souls.

GLAMOUR: What’s the one misconception people have about you?

Zoë: That I’m a jazz musician. I love all music and consider myself to be versatile in my expression. I don’t like to box what music means to me or how I’m able to express it. I love the power that all music has to express the human experience.

GLAMOUR: What are the 5 things people would be surprised to find out about you?

Zoë: I can tell you random facts about myself and maybe the readers can tell me what surprised them.

• I’m always reading up on astrology

• I love African literature

• I performed at the 2010 World Cup

• I am a true hermit

• I’d like to do talks with regards to music at music schools and institutions

GLAMOUR: Is there any chance that you will be doing any live shows virtually?

Zoë: I’ve been looking into that idea and I’m trying to find the best possible way around it. Open to suggestions. I have done the Militia, Urban Sessions and that is still available on their website: www.militiabroadcast.com

GLAMOUR: What’s next for Zoë post COVID-19?

Zoë: A continued exploration of storytelling, the rest is still unwritten.
