The past few years have been massive for Gqom sensation, Mr Thela, and 2024 is shaping up to be his biggest year yet. Not only has he gone RiSA gold with his hit single, Kwandonga Ziyaduma, but he also signed to Universal Music Group, won a Metro FM Music Award, and announced an official sponsorship deal with SKYY Vodka.
The event, which was supported by Campari Group, proved without a doubt that Mr Thela’s music has the power to transcend borders.
“The Mr Thela x SKYY Vodka brand partnership is such a great fit. It’s a brand that resonates with my supporters and fans—plus, it’s always been part of supporting local initiatives and talent,”.
Mr Thela added
Building on this momentum, he signed to Universal Music Group in 2024. This was followed by a major win at the Metro FM Music Awards, where he took home the award for Best Kwaito/Gqom Song. After a number of collaborations under their belts, SKYY Vodka and Mr Thela announced their official partnership with a third live recording session at Gorgeous George in Cape Town.

“I enjoy a Thunderstorm cocktail made with SKYY Infusions Blood Orange Vodka, SKYY Infusions Peach Vodka, cloudy apple juice, lime cordial, and ginger ale. It’s my favourite drink when I’m unwinding at home, in the studio, with friends when I host a braai, or when I’m celebrating.”
On how he celebrates his successes, Mr Thela says,
“SKYY Vodka complements my vision. As much as I’m a DJ and producer, the focus is on bringing entertainment to people’s lives through lifestyle events and making sure that everyone has a nice time while enjoying a premium vodka,”.
