Sechele is fearless in her artistry.“As a young artist, performing at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival has always been a dream of mine,” she told Independent Media Lifestyle.

“I remember having conversations with my roommate in high school about how exciting it would be just to attend the festival. Little did I know that, 10 years later, I would be performing on the very stage we once spoke about”

This month, the 23rd Cape Town International Jazz Festival (CTIJF) at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) will see Sechele bring her project, The Seed, to life on the Moses Molelekwa stage on March 27.

Her music blends jazz, R&B, neo-soul and gospel into a sound that is both intimate and expansive.

“The festival represents excellence, community and creative exchange, so standing on that stage truly feels like a full-circle moment in my journey,’ Sechele said.

“I am most excited about finally sonically planting The Seed in Cape Town. I really wanted to perform there last year, but things did not go according to plan, which makes this opportunity even more meaningful”

“Tam also looking forward to experiencing the festival as an audience member and connecting with international artists like Jacob Collier and Jasmine Myra”

Audiences can expect a performance that mirrors Sechele’s growth as an artist and as a person.

“T always say that I want my music to make people feel like they have received a warm hug after a long day,” she explained.
