Ntobeko ‘Sishii’ Sishi is a singer-songwriter exploring the vulnerable side of R&B, traversing the highs and lows and the feelings in between. He aims to cement himself among the greats.
Relocating from the Silver Lakes Estate to the hills of Kwamashu at a young age was part of the foundation of the eclecticism that embodies everything that Sishii does.
Whether in front of the camera or behind the mic, Sishii yearns to uncover the pieces of his creative expression that connect him to God. Navigating the contrasts between lust and love, temptation and faith, his music is the continuous unfolding of that story.
Moved by eclectic influences like Michael Jackson, Bon Iver, The Weeknd, and Drake, Sishii unapologetically claims his place as a storyteller sensitive to the nuance of juxtaposition.
Citing eclectic influences as the impetus for his work, it is clear that the young star has taken that sonic inspiration to heart and, in true enigmatic fashion, turned his story into a musical cinema of dreams.
Powerful narratives and enchanting melodies weave the listener into the internal dialogue of a young Sishii as he journeys through his exploration of passion, melancholy, joy, and love.
As if directed by Christopher Nolan, Sishii crafts a film-noir sonic pallet that transports the listener effortlessly into the mind of a young man inserted into a world of affluence and temptation, challenged by the will to hold on to his faith and love of God.
Following the cinematic theme, Sishii finds himself falling in and out of love to eventually return to his melancholy and settle into the realization that all of life exists in contrasts.
