Sipho 'Hotstix' Mabuse is one of South Africa’s stateliest musical treasures who loves his country as much as he does performing.
The past few years have been an amazing rollercoaster ride for Sipho, with confirmations of his invaluable contribution coming from all corners.
In April 2018 Sipho was welcomed by the State President and bestowed with the Silver Order of Ikhamanga for his contribution to the field of music.
Sipho’s 500 000-selling smash-hit single “Burn Out” changed the shape of Afro-pop and township jive like no other song or artist in pop music history.
He has also recorded and produced many legendary artists the likes of Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Ray Phiri and Sibongile Khumalo. He is a regular commentator on arts and culture in the country.
