NutownSoul: Soweto's soulful son back with ‘Magic in Me' EP
From the vibrant streets of Soweto to stages across the world, NutownSoul's musical journey has been one rooted in soul, upliftment, and powerful storytelling through house music.
Growing up in a musical family, NutownSoul — real name Tshepo Diseko — was constantly surrounded by rhythms and melodies, laying the foundation for a career that would blossom over more than a decade. His professional career officially kicked off in 2008, and by 2010, he had independently released his own EP.
In 2012, his talents caught the attention of industry heavyweights DJ Terance and Soul Candi Records, leading to the release of his debut album under their banner. The project was widely acclaimed and introduced the world to NutownSoul's unique brand of soulful house. Tracks like Solid Ground, Malome, Fade Away, and Future Past cemented his place in the genre. His contributions to DJ Terance's Music Box album series, which went on to scoop multiple awards, strengthened his reputation as a top-tier singer, songwriter and producer.
In 2018, NutownSoul evolved his sound further, embracing what he describes as 'uplifting house music'. Collaborations with The Rhythm Sessions duo and Moresoul birthed chart-toppers such as We Can Make It and Love Is the Way, which resonated deeply with fans and peers alike.
During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, NutownSoul used his voice to bring light in dark times. Songs like Time Is Now with Artwork, That's Why We Pray, and Reaching alongside Myazisto became anthems of hope and perseverance.
Now, NutownSoul is gearing up for another major release: a long-awaited solo EP, Magic in Me. Promising to be a deeply personal and inspiring body of work, the EP draws from nature, experiences and self-reflection.
'The music is about finding magic in the everyday,' NutownSoul shares. 'It's about resilience, love and being in tune with who you are.'
With his signature soul-drenched sound and a message that uplifts, NutownSoul is once again ready to touch hearts and move dance floors.
