Jethro Tait speaks to Channel24's Music Editor Nikita Coetzee about his debut EP and penning open and honest tracks about what it's like to deal with anxiety and depression.
I remember Jethro Tait from the local boy band, FOUR. He was the quiet one, I tell myself, thinking back to an interview I conducted with the group in 2016.
Now Jethro is making waves in the local entertainment scene as a solo artist. He's still reserved. But his quiet nature and nervous energy feel familiar to me, being an introvert myself.
"My life hasn't changed much because I do spend a lot of time at home anyway," he says when I ask how he has been holding up during lockdown.
Our conversation comes just days after the 28-year-old released his debut EP, I Don't Sleep.
