Lindo Summer

22-year-old Lindo “Summer” Sithole has been performing professionally for over four years and entered The Voice SA to take his music to the next level. This original and cover artist offers a one man show (guitar and vocal) that displays a wide array of musical genres apart from his soulful, jazz and rock style. With his guitar skills always the center of attention - apart from his amazing voice and attractive sense of fashion of course - Lindo has entertained varied audiences representing a range of age groups and demographics.

Lindo, who started singing for appreciative audiences back in high school already, studied for a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Business at UKZN Pietermaritzburg before venturing into music full time. His biggest musical inspiration is his late grandfather, who he never got to meet in his lifetime, but whose legacy as one of the best musicians in Pietermaritzburg and the country – as well as his unique sense of style – fired up a passion in Lindo too.

Lindo has been working hard at perfecting his art, and creating a sapce for himself in the ever-competitive music industry. He has been performing for big crowds in Pietermaritburg (KZN) at venues like The Golden Horse Casino, Spyrtz Premium Lounge and the Italian restaurant Olive & Oil, as well as performing at other major events in the province.

Highlights of this young artist’s journey in music is opening for Sands of hit songs “tigi tigi & Vuma” at his tour event at Intulo lifestyle (PMB). Opening for big acts at the 2016 Pietermaritzburg & Ugu Jazz  Festival. Biggest highlight struck this year when Lindo entered into The Voice South Africa season 2 aired on dstv MNet and made it up into the final top 16 out of thousands of entrants.

Lindo uses his income generated from live performance to record his album and finish his last year in Bachelor of Social Science in Business, Government and Ethics at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
