At Age 16 Lizibo was recruited into the Legendary KTM (Kgalemang Tumediso Motsete) choir as the youngest ever member and that is where his music life began
“As a musician I have been given the responsibility to share, and inspire others, and I get musical inspirations from everyday living, different people and life’s beauty and love.”
He stands to one of a kind in the afro pop music fraternity; he has become the first to compile multilingual afro pop songs for one. That alone has drawn him closer and closer to his fans. In 2013, at the 5th BOMUs, Lizibo earned four nominations for Best Afro-pop, best packaged album, Best newcomer, and Best male artist category. He grabbed Best Afro Pop, the Best male artist and the Best New Comer awards.
In a recent interview, Lizibo declared that his goal is to make good music and not compete rather complete the legacy left by Kgotla, Mr. Tagg, Thulie that he says have inspired him from day one. Botswana youth portal had a chat with him and this is how much we spoke!!
