From the dusty streets of Tembisa, an uncut diamond emerged in the form of Thabo Mahlwele aka Touchline.

A true poet, Touchline is best described as a verbal gymnast, able to manipulate, bend and swing words together in ways one could not have imagined to create a fresh and flexible lyrical flow. Touchline is blessed with the gift of bringing realness to his content which allows him to bring out the deep emotion from his listeners' hearts as they are able to picture and draw relevance with his story telling verses. 

Having started recording his raps and making music since the age of 17,it was only after his dancing and soccer playing days that he truly found himself. Touchline won the YFM Airborne Rap Battles hosted by Bonang Matheba and ex Optical Illusion rap crew member, Genocide. Touchline's first ever song to be played on radio was 'Ma u Rappa so' in 2011, produced by Blackstorm and it was followed by various performances on different stages around Johannesburg. 

Touchline is focused on capturing the faithful hearts of all listeners worldwide and restore hope back to people in his beloved Kasi, Tembisa.
