What is the good and bad thing about Visual Art according to your experiences?
The good thing is that you get to freely express yourself and bring the creativity in your heart and mind to life.
On the bad side, getting recognised in the art industry can be difficult. Emerging artists are often shunned upon and a lot of well-established art galleries are not willing to give them a chance. The Visual Art space in South Africa is still growing. Art is not seen as something worth investing in for a lot of people in the country. People will enjoy seeing your work but it’s either they can’t afford it or they just won’t buy it for many other reasons. Some people don’t take art seriously and they look down on you.
Connecting with other well established artists can also be difficult. Some do not want to share information with you or help you. As a black female artist, it is difficult to thrive in the art industry. A lot of the times you are not taken seriously, especially when you trying to grow a business, or you
can be taken advantage of.
What impact does your work have on current social affairs?
I have participated in doing art projects for social events relating to women empowerment and gender based violence. I am very passionate about addressing gender inequality issues and communicating Godly principals through my artwork. I hope to change the narrative about women in society and make a difference in people’s lives.

How do you seek opportunities in the visual art world?
You seek opportunities by mostly networking and participating in art events that are relevant to you
How do you price your artworks?
There are different methods of pricing depending on the artist and their work. You always have to make sure that you have covered the cost of the materials you have spent money on to produce your art. You can charge a certain amount per hour or charge based on the size of your art.
Pricing is not easy, but ultimately as the artist you are going to use your own discretion because you know best how much effort you have put into your work. Nobody can decide that for you. Sometimes you can negotiate the price with your client, but don’t make it a habit. Be confident in what you believe and feel your art is worth.
What makes a great visual artist in your opinion?
Someone who is bold to share their creativity with the rest of the world. A great visual artist is humble and unafraid of competition, willing to share opportunities with others, always looking for ways to make a difference in the world with their art and willing to help other artists who are struggling. A great artist uses their gifts and talents to change people’s lives.

You studied Interior Design, yet giving attention to Visual Art. How do you balance or handle the two?
I worked full time as an Interior Designer up until the end of last year. It was becoming difficult to balance the two as my art business was also growing and starting to interfere with my then 9 to 5 job. I also was not enjoying my job as an Interior Designer so I decided to quit and follow my passion in art because life is too short to be holding onto a career you do not like.
If your artworks had anything to do with Rap or Hip Hop, would it have the same impact like it does with spirituality and empowering women?
Yes, definitely. I believe I can make a difference in any space I am in. My creativity is not limited to one specific area.
How is the response from family and friends towards your Visual Art journey?
Mostly, family members do not understand what I am doing. As a result they do not believe in me or value what I am doing as a career. I find that I get overwhelmingly good responses from strangers and some friends. It is mostly people outside of my family circle who support me the most.
There are only a selected few people in my family who believe in me.
Which artwork is your favorite and why that artwork?

I call this painting Sophie. It is an actual portrait that I did of myself during a journey of self discovery. The name Sophie originates from the Ancient Greek name Sophia which means wisdom. I love wisdom and I believe it forms a huge part of me. This painting is a depiction of my identity, physically, emotionally and spiritually. It represents my faith in God, my skin, my hair which is my crown and my African beauty. It is a physical representation of the existence of the many faces of beautiful African women.
Surely there are so many young Visual Artists who wish to be like you one day. What wise words can you instil in their minds?
Do not trade your integrity for a pay check. Believe in yourself and your work. Always remember that not everybody is going to be your audience. Some people might like you art but some won’t and that’s okay. Keep on creating, marketing your art, networking as far as you can and always be expectant of opportunities. Be teachable and be willing to take risks. Rub shoulders with people who believe in you and people who are willing to invest in your art. Put God first and pray about everything you do.

"This album is very close to my heart as I dedicate it to my childhood idols. I grew up listening to Flabba, HHP, and Pro. Through hardwork and belief, I actually ended up having the privilege to work and be friends with them. They all had one thing in common when it comes to my music and mentorship, I've actually spent more time with them during their tough stints before they departed. I'll forever cherish that, I consider myself really blessed, and I hope you get to enjoy the album."

Luyanda is a Swazi born multi‐talented act, he has a degree in TV and Film production.
“After Graduating, I never looked back, I invested myself much into art. I did theatre performances in Swaziland together with TV dramas, “Haunted Fate”, “Vaat and Seet”. With all these plays, I’m representing Swaziland raising that flag high.
I left Swaziland after getting a slot on Hillbrow Radio. as a radio DJ and Producer, I believe that platform Opened my eyes and learnt about radio and tv being one thing. After a year I left hillbrow radio for teaching at Denver high school where I was teaching creative Arts and English.
Got a call from Royal News Africa radio, where I started as a broadcaster and later got promoted to being a station manager.
I believe in hard work and dedication, that’s why I get good reference from most of my previous workplaces. With all my pieces of work, music has been haunting me, I finally had time to release what was inside me, I had a first single (house soul) “Ngicela Ungithathe” which amazed lot of people with my talent and composition being on point, followed by a reggae single “Why tonight” and now a house soul “Angesabi lutho”.
Luyanda is currently working on a Swazi telenovella which he wrote, that features SA
biggest stars and programme managing new channel B.Mag Tv.
What Grabbed Your Attention in the TV and Film Production?
I don't wanna lie and say I was into tv and film, being from rural areas, such field is not exposed to us, it happened that I was a bright student and i got a scholarship from highschool, I didn't want to do these obvious careers, I wanted something new and challenging, there was Film and tv production and i gave it a try. Funny enough i fell in love with it since it was as same as music which I have a soft spot for
From Studying TV and Film Production to being a Radio DJ and Producer, What made you realize that TV and Radio are one thing?
On these plarfoms, we tell stories tha build communities, both platforms inspired, built the voice to the voiceless, it is as same as hearing or seeing in tv and hearing creates a picture from the things that you hear on radio
TV vs Radio, if you were to choose one, what would it be and why?
I am in love with both media tools but radio comes first, with radio i feel complete, i am myself and it feels so good to create a picture to someone's mind, radio relaxes my brain by the music played and good conversations
You have done so many things in the Media and Entertainment industry... would you say you have found one thing that you are passionate about? What is it and why?
I am passionate about everything in media, my strength is in media, media controls the wolrd and society, so in all I have done around media i have given my best and learnt, enjoy it even though sometimes it gets to be challenging as other people wish to see you crush in the industry, but being confident and knowing your story keeps one going and on a right pace
What is the Good and the Bad thing about being a Multi-Talented Person according to your experiences?
The good thing about being a multi-talented is; you are hands on, you learn more and you have access to the right information, you are open to many things that you get exposed to, you are not limited, you are not seasonal. However; there is a bad side about it, in some cases you confuse people, listeners and viewers are sensitive individuals, they would think maybe you are lost or maybe you have not yet find yourself.
Few years from now, where will Luyanda be in the Media and Entertainment industry?
Few years from now I see myself having my media house for voiceovers, film production and would love to have my own breakfast show for Ligwalagwala fm hosting with Amanda du Toit.
What is the Motive behind the Swazi Telenovella that you wrote?
The motive behind my Swati telenovella... mmmh you know it is so painful how swati language is not making waves in the media industry, the way it is so scarce in the entertainment sector, i feel it is time we young generation stand up and fight for the platform for our language, show the world that swati people can make it to this media industry and we must be given an opportunity, that all. and to swati people must believe in themselves
 
What makes a Good producer in your opinion?
Firstly a producer must have faith in his / her people (crew), believe in their input to every project, a producer must not be a dictator, at the end a project or show is not for his but for everyone. Meaning that a producer needs help to sucees from people he is working with
With a lot that is happening in the world at the moment, things such as Coronavirus, how are they affecting the Media and Entertainment industry?
I will go with general knowledge speculation of false statements first, statements which will be circulating (especially from outbreaks diseases), people believe they are from media even if they are tempered by chancers then they will be saying "haay media is a false partfom manipulating people,
Secondly; in most cases, media people are always at risk when they go gather information in places like hospitals where there are infected individuals, they may contaminate that virus while their mandate was to get fresh information and evidence to deliver to people, Another example is xenophobic attacks; media people have to be in such rough environment at any moment, the crowd can go against them in fear of being exposed being the individuals involved in such incidents
Shout Outs
I would like to first send a shout out to all people who gave me challenges (especially my enemies), without them I wouldn't be this strongest person, hustler, go getter, role model, inspirational person that i am today.
Secondly; everyone who put a hand in making my dreams come true, and shout out to my single life which makes me focus all the time ?
