MULTITASKING MAMA

Sandisiwe Sishuba mother, daughter, singer, choreographer, part time worker and full time student are walking proof that you can truly do it all.

‘God is everything…without him, I’m nothing. Always aim higher than the rest.’ Is the motto she lives her life by.

Sandy grew up in Queenstown and at the age of six she realised she knows how to sing when her Gran insisted that she joins a church after that singing was just something she had to do.

She often gets asked to sing in different shows a lot like family gatherings, weddings etc.  

 ‘To me that is achievement enough, just to know that are people who enjoy listening to me.’

Her biggest singing achievement so far is being chosen as one the top twenty contestants chosen in Cape Town to go compete in the idols top 100 in 2010. Due to her participation in Idols many hip-hop artists and local Djs, want to do collaborations with her.

 ‘I’m working with Dj Zaizo on his mixtape but I really do not know when it will be released...but it is a work in process.’

She recently recorded a song with up and coming Hip hop artist ‘Dakidnextdoor’ who she will join on his tour around Cape Town  to promote his mixtape which will be out by the end of July.

They recorded a named “next year will be better (I promise)”

DakidnextdoorIs is currently in the process of making his mixtape which he plans to release in December of this year. He is known as the biggest up and coming hip-hop artist in Gugulethu and he’s going to Johannesburg for the next level of the blackberry competition.

Dakidnextdoor asked Sandy to sing with him because he loves her voice. They have been friends for some time and working together was an obvious next choice.

‘I’m a huge fan of his music. The song we recorded together is relevant to the both of us.’ She said.

Apart from recording songs Sandy is a full time journalism student at City Varsity because she loves writing.

‘Writing has always been my second passion so I guess that’s why I decided to take this course.’

She has a daughter who she leaves at home with her mom or her domestic worker when she has to go work. She is a part time teller at Nedbank and a choreographer for UWC.

‘I’m part of an all-rounder Entertainment Company that organizes pageants for the different Universities; I choreograph the models and come up with themes.’

Hard work is not something she is afraid off and with the right motivation you can pull it off like Sandy.

‘It’s not easy but in the end, I believe it will all pay-off, cause all I’m doing is for my daughter.’
