About this Event
Join Ms. Thandi as she brings her debut EP, Soft Like Fire to life with a live show full of intimate storytelling and energy, with support act DiLL opening the night.
Ms. Thandi is a Sydney-based alt-R&B artist with roots in southern Africa, carrying both the diasporic traditions she was raised in and the contemporary R&B landscape she has made her own. Her sound moves with intention, weaving multi-dimensional influences with the emotional weight and sincerity of lived experiences, sitting somewhere between the familiar and the expansive.
Ms. Thandi's most recent body of work Soft Like Fire was released in April 2026 and has garnered support from Triple J, FBi radio and more. Soft Like Fire expresses the paradox of fire as something that flickers playfully yet commands reverence. The project explores love in all its contradictions: tender and consuming, liberating and disorienting, a gentle boundary and a war cry. Sonically, Soft Like Fire moves through alternative R&B, reggae warmth and Afro-influenced textures, honouring Ms. Thandi's genre fluidity exploring rhythms, electronic production and live instrumentation.
On stage, Ms. Thandi captivates with an effortless, tantalizing presence that commands attention without ever asking for it, having shared stages with the likes of Adrian Eagle, JOY., Lara Andallo, and Genesis Owusu. This EP launch, Ms. Thandi brings her project to life in a live music experience built on the same raw, honest storytelling that defines the record.
