Lloyiso enters the stage as Tamia’s opening act

Musician Loyiso Gijana better known as Lloyiso entered the stage as Tamia’s supporting act. 

The former Idols SA contestant gained massive popularity on Idols SA when he competed in 2015 at the age of 16 where he advanced to the top five. He then went on to utilise his social media platforms demonstrating his singing skills and gaining a huge following. His performances of well-known covers and original compositions earned him admiration from both domestic and foreign audiences.

On Monday the musician took to his social media timeline where he announced that he would be Tamia’s opening act for the Live in South Africa tour.

He captioned the posting: “Touring with Tamia! Can’t wait to see you guys.”

The multi-Grammy nominated R&B singer Tamia is currently touring South Africa this month of July.

The Canadian star has released multiple albums and collaborated with several prominent international musical icons during a career that spans over nearly three decades.

The tour commenced last night at the Grand Arena in Grand West, Cape Town.

The tour continues to Durban’s ICC venue on Friday before wrapping up with two performances at Pretoria’s Sunbet venue on Saturday and Sunday.

Tweeps shared in their excitement to see the former Idols SA contestant perform.
