Kataleya and Kandle have expressed gratitude to fellow singer Vinka, crediting her with helping them rebuild their music career after their departure from Theron Music two years ago.
The duo revealed that leaving the record label was one of the toughest moments of their musical journey, admitting they were left uncertain about what the future held for them. During that difficult period, they sought out Vinka in hopes of collaborating on a song that could help them regain momentum.
Speaking in a media interview, Kandle explained that they initially sent Vinka several songs, but none of them impressed her.
Determined to make the collaboration happen, they returned to the studio and created Tompa, which immediately caught her attention. According to Kandle, Vinka approved the song, joined them in the recording process, and brought great energy to both the studio session and the music video shoot, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.
Kataleya said Vinka’s support came at exactly the right time, describing it as a turning point after the emotional challenges they faced following their exit from Theron Music.
She said Tompa helped restore their presence in the music industry, adding that the duo remains deeply grateful to Vinka for believing in them when they needed it most.
