Former Idols SA Contestant Lloyiso Gets a Thumbs Up From This Talented American Superstar. It’s always nice to get recognized by anyone, from the work that you do. Nothing though, beats getting recognition from an international star who is well known across the globe. This is why Lloyiso Gijana is over the moon, after an American star gave him his flowers while he is still alive.

The former Idols SA contestant and recording artist, has found himself a fan in India Arie. The American singer and songwriter applauds Lloyiso’s singing, saying he sings with so much heart and depth that it is striking. India is so much of a fan that she admits that she once watched Lloyiso’s videos in one night. All of this coming from an artist who has won four Grammy Awards from her 23 nominations, speaks volumes about the talent that is Lloyiso.

We first got to meet Lloyiso when he appeared on Idols SA singing competition, where he was placed fifth. He was just 16 then, but one could tell that he was destined for stardom. After the competition, Lloyiso focused on music inspired by the likes of Sam Smith and Kanye West. He performed anywhere possible, singing in exchange for dinner at local pubs. He even recorded in English and ten different African languages.

Taking over social media, Lloyiso amplified his voice globally by posting covers on Facebook before embracing YouTube. He launched his TikTok in 2020, and his videos are quite popular. Lloyiso has gained the endorsement of everyone from Kygo to Tyga and gradually amassed an enthusiastic audience. Putting himself out there, has really helped Lloyiso to increase his fan base, which now boasts the likes of India Arie. How cool!
