Lloyiso

South Africa's Lloyiso makes soulful pop music, often centered around themes of affirmation and empowerment. After an early start as a competitor on the reality contest Idols SA, he slowly paid his dues, shaping a signature sound around his powerhouse vocals. Lloyiso broke out in 2021 with multi-platinum hit "Seasons." By that point, he was signed to Republic Records which released his 2023 EP of the same name. Seasons won a South African Music Award (SAMA) and established Lloyiso as a mainstream star, leading to cross-genre collaborations with electronic acts like Martin Garrix and Clean Bandit. In 2026, he released his debut album, Never Thought I Could (Part 1).
