It is with great honour and privilege that we introduce you to the wonder that is Gwyn. She represents charm, authenticity and vibrancy to not just the youth and females, but to every single person who has a dream. Creating a narrative and visual experience that embodies “Gwyn” and “Radio” was enthralling and it was a pleasure working with such a passionate and visionary creative team in bringing this concept to life. It’s time to celebrate life again and this is just the track we needed for the holiday “feel good vibes”. We can’t wait for you to experience the magic!
“Radio” was written by Musician and Black City Records Founder and Managing Director Yogan Naidoo.
“Our team felt that the world needed a joyful and uplifting song that celebrates our return to some level of normality from the darker days of Covid in 2020 and earlier this year. And, for any artist with a debut single, a big dream come true is hearing their song being played on the radio, so the narrative of the song speaks to that very ambition."
