Thabo Krouwkam

I am Thabo Krouwkam, a singer-songwriter based in Cape Town with deep roots in Worcester and the Eastern Cape, where my family has lived for many years. Music has always been at the core of who I am, and my songs draw on the rich diversity of South Africa’s languages and sounds. Singing in English, Afrikaans, and Xhosa, I carry the spirit of inclusivity and multiculturalism, reflecting the landscapes and communities that shaped me.

My passions extend beyond music into movement, connection, and the power of presence. With a background in martial arts and a mind sharpened through years of playing chess, I bring both strategy and flow into everything I do. Alongside my songwriting, I explore contact improvisation, storytelling, and embodied practices that awaken creativity and connection.
Recently, I began offering “opening the voice” sessions, guiding people into a deeper relationship with their sound, their confidence, and their authenticity.

Through my creative practice, I have come to understand that music is more than performance. It is a way of entering flow, improvisation, and connection. Creativity has taught me to show up in life with greater bravery, to take risks, and to meet others with openness. It has made me a kinder, more spontaneous human being, and this is the spirit I bring into every circle, every song, and every gathering.
