About Dr Tumi (biography) Songs, Albums, Age Net Worth
Multifaceted. This best sums up award winning South African gospel artist Dr t:Tumi (real name Tumišang t:Makweya). Born and bred
in t:Seshego, Limpopo, Dr Tumi is a spiritual music doctor. There’s more
to his title “Dr” than meets the eye. Dr Tumi earned his title after
spending six years studying medicine at Medical University of Southern
Africa (Mendusa). Dr Tumi, who is a producer, songwriter,
instrumentalist and vocalist, is endowed with grace to minister healing
from a dual perspective.
He runs a surgery in t:Mabopane, north of Pretoria providing physical
healing but he also ministers healing to the soul through his heavenly
inspired songs. Through his music, the erstwhile lead singer of award
wining gospel group Intense, touches souls propelling healing as it
flows from heaven.
Dr Tumi’s first solo album – Heart of a King garnered him Best t:RnB
Gospel Award at the t:SABC Crown Gospel Music Awards in 2012, where he was
nominated in four categories. He is emerging as one of South Africa’s
most sought after gospel artists with a number of churches and
ministries showing massive interest in his gift.
Like many artists, Dr Tumi’s singing kicked off in Sunday school. Church
environment gave him a platform to work his skills as a pianist and
singer.
Armed with his virtuoso musical abilities, Dr Tumi has also shown over
the years his ‘no fear' attitude towards challenges. In 2003 he was
involved at the Coca-Cola Popstars and made it to the Top 20 after
competing with close to 16 000 participants. Although he didn’t feature
on the overall winner’s group, he was called back for extra training as
he was one of the most outstanding talents at Popstars. This afforded
him an opportunity to receive training and coaching from music greats
such as Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Caiphus t:Semenya, Letta Mbuli, Thembi Seete
and Blondie Makhene.
Since then his star has risen. In 2008, Dr Tumi, along with Intense,
sang at TD Jakes’ MegaFest held at the Nasrec Expo Centre. His musical
endeavours saw him share the stage with the likes of Mary Mary, Yolanda
Adams, Israel Houghton, Joyous Celebration, Hlengiwe Mhlaba, Benjamin
Dube, Vuyo Mokoena, Jabu t:Hlongwane and other members of the Joyous
Celebration.
Dr Tumi, who penned all 16 tracks of his album - Heart of a King, is
using his professions - t:music and medicine to advance lives of the
people.
“Music and medicine are rooted on improving people’s lives. However
ministering through song has the potential to go even beyond the natural
and reach deep inside,” says Dr Tumi.
