Gaborone — Tebby, otherwise known as Tebogo Setlhomo a gospel sensation who performed at an Old Naledi Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) victory celebration that prompted President Ian Khama to dance in public for the first time, has built a new studio.
In an interview this week, Setlhomo revealed that her new studio called Tebby Gospel Studio specialises in producing gospel music, sermons, and poetry.She said that she has engaged professional producers from South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and the United States of America (US)."I also have some from Botswana. We have a long queue of artists lining up to have their work produced at Tebby Gospel Studio. So far we have produced and released the works of two gospel artists, France and Solly, who are both disabled people. Their albums are doing quite well on the market. They have also been receiving a lot of airplay on radio, especially on RB2. I am quite happy that though they are disabled, we have helped them record and release albums, which are helping to put food on the table," she said.
Tebby, who has a number of albums 'under her bra' has said that it was out of the realisation that though the gospel genre is experiencing growth with a good number of artists, there are not so many record studios for the genre locally. She sees herself better placed not only to produce gospel artists "but to give them quality music and ideas of marketing their works such that they emerge best sellers like I have been doing on the market," she said.
