Don't Thank Me, Spank Me | The Hoist with Crystal

Crystal and Ben were stoked to speak with the one-of-a-kind THNDO, an illustrious RnB and Neo-Soul musician, multi-dimensional artist and staple of the local soul scene in Naarm/Melbourne. They reflected on THNDO's growth as an artist, the importance of mentorship for young musicians, and the freedom to explore different sounds and styles under her alias Mama T.

Crystal and Ben heard all about THNDO's recent venture into musical theatre with the nationally touring 'RENT' in which she plays Joanne, as well as teasing a forthcoming album titled Lessons in Love. To hear more from THNDO, you can catch her show with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra on 22 June 2024, celebrating the timeless compositions of Burt Bacharach!
