A CAREER IN MUSIC

Rebecca tried out for the ‘Shell Road to Fame’ music talent show in 1986, but was unsuccessful. She didn’t give up and entered again the next year, winning Best Vocalist with Shine On. Her music career was established as a result of the win. She enlisted producer SizweZako’s help and hired Peter Tladi as her manager. This singer’s debut pop album, which she released as a newcomer to the music industry, did not do well. Rebecca later shifted to gospel music and garnered a lot of media attention, particularly radio airplay, which is critical for local artists.

Her CD, Shwele Baba, broke the record for the fastest selling CD in the country and in the history of the country’s music when it sold over 1 million copies soon after the third week of its original release in 1995, nearly 25 years ago. In terrible circumstances, she lost her father, brother, and sister in 1996. She shot a 52-minute Easter special for national transmission on Good Friday in 1995 while touring in Israel.
