Botswana: Judging Idols
Francistown
He has been in the music industry for a while - one of the first lot of the pop stars to pop out GC. While some have fiddled out over time, Scar is still in the scene, and growing by every project. DJ SID caught up with the young muso as he prepares to take his as one of the M-Net's Pop Idols judge.
Q. Who is Scar?
Scar is Thato Bryan Matlhabaphiri, son of two very loving parents and one very unpredictable but awesome sister. I'm a hip hop artist, student, co-owner of the clothing brand PODI and co-host of the biggest 6 to 10pm show in Africa on Yarona Fm called 6-1-ohh!! Scar is a perfectionist and this irritates me because I end up spending lots of time reviewing things over and over before putting them out there.
Q. Congratulations on being picked to be one of three judges for Idols Africa. How do you feel?
I'm over the moon! I'm grateful to be part of such a phenomenal show and I urge each and every Motswana to come out to the auditions and try their luck. One thing I've learnt about our country is we are very gifted mare it's like re emetse mongwe motho gore a tle go re tsaya. Trying never killed anyone so put yourself out there and if you're on point, someone will definitely take notice.
Q. What kind of Judge are you going to be?
Come on Sid, I'm going to be fair. I'm just looking for talent and that always speaks for itself.
Q. How are you going to take advantage of this experience?
I'm going to be visiting places I've never been to before so I think that on it's own will help me have a broader view about life and other people's cultures. That's priceless, in any language. As far as business, re tla utlwa teng. Haha!
