Zolile Mcelu, better known as TSA, is a South African rapper and songwriter. TSA has been able to build a niche fan base that has fallen in love with his introspective storytelling on beats filled with live instrumentation, glitchy vocals samples, ear scraping synths and infectious drum patterns. Having taken the necessary steps to accelerate his career as an independent musician, TSA has developed a unique perspective and emerged as a wizened student, artist and entrepreneur in the city of Johannesburg where he was born and raised.
