Our next guest was born and raised in the city of Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa. While studying a Theatre and Performance degree at the University of Cape Town, she met the band members who would become what we know as FreshlyGround. In 2019, she changed her artist brand and became known as the One Who Sings - which was inspired by the isiXhosa phrase: lo uculayo. What you may not know about her is that she was casted in the lead role in the television drama Tsha-Tsha, which aired on SABC 1. Mahola voiced the character of Zoë in the animated feature film Zambezia (2012), and also recorded a song on the original motion picture soundtrack.
