Nkosi King Teresa | Idols South Africa

Nkosi King Teresa is a South African gospel artist and a radio presenter from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.

He is a Top 12 contestant on Idols SA Season 19 in 2023.

Nkosi is 29 years old.

People’s person Nkosi says entering Idols South Africa has long been one of his biggest dreams. Having previously left the show during Season 17’s Theatre Week, he’s spent the time since working on his craft.

“It was a matter of doing it or dying,” he says about auditioning for Season 19.

A seasoned musician, Nkosi started singing around the house as a child, before performing at local weddings and funerals as he got older.

He has spent years in various choirs, honing his skills and searching for his musical identity. Even years later, he still wants to grow more.

Nkosi finds inspiration in former Idols SA winners Khaya Mthethwa and Lloyd Cele and would love to work with producer and musician Afrotraction.

While he says audiences can expect great performances from him, he’s nervous about dancing onstage because it’s not his biggest talent: “But whatever comes my way I will find ways of working around it and delivering my best.”
