“It Never Disappoints Me That I Never Won Idols. I’m Proud I Never Won” – Says Lloyd Cele

Winning the Idols SA competition  would’ve been simply one a huge achievement for Lloyd Cele, but he says he’s happy that he lost. Lloyd won the hearts of South Africans from the TV show, South African Idol, in which he became a Runner Up in 2010. Lloyd took to social media this week to reflect on his musical journey so far, and reveals that he is “proud” he never won Idols because it has put him on a musical path he wouldn’t have walked down otherwise.

Lloyd Cele has won a SAMA award for Best Pop Album, a MetroFM, ChannelO and Wawela nominee. He is an executive producer, a diverse artist who plays guitar, piano, bass and saxophone. 

“It never disappoints me that I never won Idols,” he says “Honestly I’m proud I never won, strange but true. All I ever wanted was to make great music that can touch and inspire people’s lives and a better life for my family.”

“Failure can motivate and inspire you for greatness. There’s is nothing like the feeling of hearing thousands of people singing along to your song, this just remind me of why I do what I do, and why I love what I do. I love to entertain and turn bring a smile on your face through my music. Change the way think, you’ll change the way you live,” he added.”

Lloyd is also a proud family man, married with 2adorable children ,Levi and Zoey. Check Out his beautiful family below……

Family goals!
