Songwriting in the park: Nandipha's visionary brainchild

Loading player...
In a city buzzing with talent, one innovative initiative is bringing singer-songwriters together to create, inspire, and thrive. Welcome to Songwriting in the Park, the brainchild of Nandipha, a passionate singer-songwriter who's breaking down barriers and fostering a community of creatives.
Stacey and J Sbu caught up with Nandipha to learn more about this exciting project. "I started Songwriting in the Park because I felt that in Durban, there weren't enough events for songwriters, and especially not enough free events for the youth," she explains. "I wanted to create a space where we could get together, be creative, and write songs without feeling like it's a secret."
That's exactly what's happening. Songwriting in the Park is a regular gathering where singer-songwriters come together to share their talents, collaborate on new material, and draw inspiration from one another. It's a space where creativity knows no bounds, and where the next big hit might just be born.
So, how can you be a part of this exciting movement? The next Songwriting in the Park event is scheduled for March, and Nandipha invites anyone interested to join in. "You can follow our Instagram account, @creativesinthepark, and join our WhatsApp group chat to stay updated on upcoming events," she says.
As Stacey, one of the interviewers, notes, "This is something that's so interesting because creative individuals, especially singer-songwriter people, often don't have many events to showcase their talents. To create that space is incredible."
With Songwriting in the Park, Nandipha is not only providing a platform for creatives to shine but also inspiring a sense of community and collaboration. As J Sbu, the other interviewer, puts it, "This is pretty cool what you're doing here. Very cool."
If you're a singer-songwriter looking for a creative outlet, or simply someone who appreciates great music, be sure to follow Songwriting in the Park on social media and join the movement. Who knows? You might just discover the next big thing in music.
