Whether you've fallen in love with thndo on festival stages around Australia, appearances on Australian television, or her role as Joanne in RENT: The Musical, she is an artist whose work not only speaks truth to power but radiates a warm charisma that endears her to audiences nationwide. She is back with a new single 'Forward' that out in the world today, and the exciting announcement of her debut album Lessons In Love, slated for release on Valentine's Day February 14 2025. Following the single release, thndo will join RocKwiz LIVE for a tour across regional Victoria and BACHARACH in NSW and SA.
Out via DITTO, 'Forward' tackles the complexities of trust issues, paranoia, and the work that goes into overcoming betrayal. Guitar riffs layer amongst groovy beats, and harmonies reminiscent of a retro soul era, with a message carried by thndo's vocal prowess and buttery, soulful delivery.
"Forward is the soundtrack to feeling emotionally unsafe in a relationship after betrayal. Can you really move forward if you’re always looking back over your shoulder?" - Thndo
thndo’s music has woven stories of strength, openness and conflict, with those of love, empowerment and sensuality, and there is an unabashed honesty and charm in her creativity. Her upcoming album explores her reconnection to the stage and creating music, featuring previous singles 'Fall', '4EVA', and 'Along The Way', which have been heard on the airwaves across Australia on Double J, and community radio including FBi, RTR FM, Radio Adelaide, PBS FM, Edge Radio, 4ZZZ, and RRR.
For many Australian audiences, the ‘First Lady of Soul and R&B’ is a description that takes stunning form in thndo. She is no stranger to the stage, commanding festival crowds at the likes of Bluesfest, Jungle Love, WOMAD, Groovin the Moo, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, Melbourne International Jazz Festival, St Kilda Festival, Mullum Festival, and FLOW Festival, and supported artists including Leon Bridges, Allen Stone, Odette, Ngaiire, and Baker Boy. Recently she has appeared on Channel 7 and 9’s televised Carols, ABC’s Spicks & Specks, and Foxtel’s Rockwiz, and in 2024, she joined the cast of RENT: The Musical in the role of Joanne, touring nationally.
Take the next step forward with thndo as she uncovers all her lessons and learnings in love.
