From friends to lovers and now music partners, Gabi and Mo recently shared their creative journey and how they balance their personal lives with their demanding careers. The couple opened up about the inspiration behind their latest track, highlighting the strength of their relationship and how it fuels their creativity.
Speaking on how their bond influenced their music, Gabi emphasized the importance of friendship in their creative process. “We’re both creatives who constantly brainstorm new ideas. Our relationship is built on friendship, and that forms the foundation of everything we do. When we started working together, we naturally took it to that space of collaboration,” Gabi explained.
Mo, on the other hand, clarified that their music partnership wasn’t driven by their romantic relationship, but by their mutual respect for one another’s creative talents. “Music is structured, and we didn’t set out to tell a love story with this song. It was more about recognizing and appreciating each other’s abilities. Once the song came together, we naturally began to work on other tracks that will be released soon,” Mo shared.
As a couple in the industry, they also discussed how they manage their personal lives while collaborating on professional projects. “When we’re working, we’re working. We leave everything else behind and focus on the task at hand. We both understand that no matter what happens at home, work is work, and we have to deliver,” said Gabi, underscoring their professionalism despite any personal disagreements.
Their latest collaboration is a testament to their dedication, creativity, and ability to balance a flourishing relationship while pushing the boundaries of their artistic careers.
Gabi revealed the personal inspiration behind her verse in Ubuhle Bendoda (Zinkomo Zayo), which delves into the themes of love, marriage, and the beauty of uniting families.
“My verse is all about celebrating the joy of being the woman who captures her man’s heart,” Gabi shared. “It’s about the enchantment of love and the sacredness of marriage. I wanted to capture that blissful moment of bringing two families together and creating something beautiful out of love.”
Her words add a heartfelt and intimate touch to the song, reflecting the profound emotions tied to love and commitment.
