Gospel singer Xolly Mncwango reflects on her two Metro FM Music Awards
Gospel singer Xolly Mncwango has scooped two Metro FM Music Awards to add to her Sama recognition.
Xolly sings with the emotional intensity associated with traditional gospel, but distinguishes herself by incorporating traces of R&B and soul into her sound.
At the Metro FM Music Awards in Mbombela Stadium, Mpumalanga this weekend, she walked away with the Best Female Artist and Best Gospel Album awards.
'I did not see this coming,' she told TshisaLIVE.
'I didn't think I'd win Best Female Artist, it was a surprise to me. It's not about winning the most awards, but about God's favour and grace and him being the amplifier of our steps.'
Her collection of awards now includes a Sama for Best Contemporary Faith Music, a Crown Gospel Award for Best Female Artist of the Year and Best Streamed Song — Ungukuphila — among others. Being recognised by the prestigious and sought-after Metro FM Awards is an honour, she said.
'Winning Best Gospel Album is testament to God's unusual and mighty works in my life. I thought of it based on the testimonies and the hard work we've put in. I'm grateful and humbled by His blessings and such recognition. Above all I am honoured to be a vessel.'
