Esethu Siwe drops her debut single ‘Ndobalekela Kuphi’
We are proud to stand alongside Esethu Siwe as she takes a bold step into her solo journey with the release of her debut single, “Ndobalekela Kuphi.” Released on 11 April 2025, the song is a moving declaration of faith — a cry for refuge, and a reminder of the unshakeable hope we find in God.
Esethu’s voice has been a cornerstone of Joyous Celebration for years, and in “Ndobalekela Kuphi”, we hear her not just as a vocalist, but as a storyteller — raw, honest, and fully present. This is more than just a gospel single; it’s a heartfelt conversation between the artist and her Creator, one that resonates with anyone who’s ever asked, “Where can I run to when the world feels too heavy?”
The Esethu x MODAR relationship
At MODAR, our purpose has always been to create space for artists to grow, evolve, and express their truth. Partnering with Esethu on this release has been a full-circle moment for us — especially because our founder, Nhlanhla “Nivo” Ndimande, has a longstanding relationship with the Joyous Celebration family. His experience and deep understanding of the gospel landscape have been instrumental in guiding Esethu through this transition into solo artistry.
We’ve worked closely with Esethu to develop a sound and strategy that honour her spiritual foundation while elevating her creative identity. From production and positioning to long-term vision, we’ve walked with her every step of the way — not just as a management agency, but as a creative home.
“This season is about what God is doing in me personally,”
- Esethu
“Ndobalekela Kuphi” is the first chapter of a much bigger story. With a live solo album currently in the works, Esethu is just getting started — and we’re excited to help amplify her voice far beyond what she’s done before.
As MODAR, we don’t just launch projects — we build purpose-driven careers. We believe in Esethu’s message, her music, and her mission. This is a partnership rooted in faith, creative excellence, and a shared belief in the power of gospel to transform lives.
We invite you to listen, share, and experience the spirit behind “Ndobalekela Kuphi.”
