Since emerging in 2017, Focalistic has steadily risen
to become an Amapiano frontrunner through hits
such as “Ke Star” and “Gupta”. Born Lethabo
Sebetso in the township of Garankuwa, Pretoria, the
artist draws inspiration from his upbringing, and
seamlessly fuses it with his outward influences. His
catchphrase “ase trap tse ke pina tsa ko kasi”, which
translates to “it’s not trap it’s songs from the hood”,
exemplifies this sentiment as he carries his
authenticity along with him as he exports his
exceptional talent. His clever lyricism, wittiness and
energetic cadence has seen him work on pan-African
and international collaborations with artists such as
Davido, DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small, CKay,
amongst others. An independent thinker and
entrepreneur, Focalistic is also the owner of his own
recording label 18 Area Holdings.
