Journey
Strike Moshe, born Moses Velephi Tholo, comes from Winterveldt near Pretoria, where his early connection to music developed through church singing and informal performance settings. His path into music did not follow a structured industry entry at first; instead, it grew from repeated appearances in spaces where his vocal ability naturally stood out.
A key turning point came during an informal studio session, where his performance led directly to recording interest. That moment marked the beginning of his professional career and shifted him into full-time music recording.
As his career developed, he worked with established gospel figures such as Solly Moholo, Winnie Mashaba, and Sinky Mathe. These collaborations placed him within the broader South African gospel network and helped shape his direction as an artist working across traditional and contemporary gospel influences.
His music reflects a blend of traditional gospel structures, modern gospel elements, and ZCC-influenced expression, which is common in parts of South African church music culture. Over time, he developed a steady recording catalogue that includes multiple albums, with *Umoya Wami* standing as his sixth project and reflecting a more personal approach to songwriting and expression.
His songs include titles such as “Kuyobamnandi,” “Morena Nkarabe,” and “Rwala Merwalo,” which continue to appear within gospel circles.
He also spent time as part of the group Exodus, showing that his work moved between solo recording and group-based performance structures.
