1.Many people do not know that I am a singer, songwriter and producer who goes by the name Tukstah360.
I am an actress because acting comes easy to me, but music is my first love. Music is a bit difficult because I am still learning the ropes, and that is why I haven’t released anything yet.
2. I opened my company, One Autumn Media, because I wanted to direct my own creative process.
I am not comfortable with just finding a record deal. I want to do things my own way and according to my rules and times. As a business person, I am able to choose artists I want to work with and the type of music I want to do. I am using my company to drive my vision.
3.I love running my own business, but it is expensive.
I did not go to business school, but I trust that my love for the business and music will withstand all the mistakes I might make.
4. My music is available on my SoundCloud page, Tukstah360.
My sound is pop with a hint of hip hop, with an African flavour. I’m currently in the studio making some music, which I plan on releasing soon. I’m compiling an EP with different sounds, and I am confident it will be warmly received.
5. I can’t wait to release my music.
My EP will change the game and people will be pleasantly surprised. I am coming through with a fresh sound that will make people want more. So, watch this space.
