As One makes it to the semifinals

The International Songwriting Competition 2020 received more than 26,000 entries and the semi-finalists made up nine percent of it. 

Mpho Ludidi is a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition in the year 2020 with his song, As One. The song is meant to inspire love and forgiveness.

A review from RollingStone India

“Blending Afro-Jazz, soul and more, Mpho Ludidi certainly sings from as pure a heart as they come. With a powerful voice that flows over smooth jazz settings, Ludidi sings to harken back to his Xhosa and Zulu folk roots.”
