Describing himself as an unpredictable and “exciting” performer, Envic looks forward to dazzling viewers when he hits the Idols SA stage. He says: “When it comes to song choices, I would like to do stuff that people can connect with.”
The Capetonian has been entering singing contests since primary school. In matric, he won a scholarship to the Cape Music Institute, where he studied for two years and learned from music industry legends such as Tevin Campbell. Musically, he looks up to Luther Vandross, Zonke, Judith Sephuma, and Kelly Khumalo.
Hailing from the same place as Idols SA season 3 winner Karin Kortje, Envic is not just doing this for himself – it’s also about hometown glory. “So many people in my community are rooting for me and proud of me,” he says.
Another former Idols SA contestant who inspires him is season 11’s Amanda Black: “Besides winning, my goal is to build a solid career that will be timeless, just like she has done.”
