Over the years, their determination has seen them appear in music videos, tour with D'Banj, Drake and Tiwa Savage, perform with Rihanna at the BRIT Awards, work on projects with Wizkid, and make headlines all over Africa and globally. It's literally been an uphill journey to success, but the fruits have been worth it – they are literally the among the best dance groups to crop out of Africa.
Her other team members are Ezinne Asinugo and Soliat Bada, with the latter being her BFF.
Their breakthrough came when they became semi-finalists in Britain's Got Talent back in 2013, graced TV screens all over UK and now they are globe trotting, working on mega projects. During the show, Simon Cowell, who loved their choreography said, “I could wake up to that every morning…I won’t press the snooze.”
Not that Nqobile needed any validation, but her ever growing fan base and appreciation from Asia to the Caribbean has made her scale for even greater heights. Her most recent project is her collaboration with UK based Afrobeats producer, singer-songwriter Maleek Berry on the “Kontrol” music video, which has had massive success.
The London-based entertainer shared with me her success tips, life goals, her encounter with Kanye West and much more in my candid interview with her:
Harun: When did you discover your dancing talent?
Nqobile: From a very early age I've always loved dancing. It's always been a part of me and always will be. It's naturally my outlet. Especially as a teenager, I used to be in my room with the door closed and music loud, it felt like my own little world. I remember blasting some Missy Elliot and started making up little dance moves and piecing stuff here and there and incorporated some stuff I had seen on the streets or on tv. Little did I know, I was actually choreographing!
Continuously strengthen your skill and talent daily, visualise yourself LIVING that dream and in that moment and remain focused! There'll come a time where that opportunity will come and you have to be ready for it. From that opportunity, even more will come and before you know it Boom you're actually living your dreams one by one.
