About the Book

Little did Lloyd Cele know back then that those few words would trade a life and mindset of lack, for a life focused and effective purpose. After being runner-up on South African Idols in 2010, Lloyd has become one of South Africa's most popular music artists. He has won numerous awards, including being nominated at the South African Music Awards (SAMAs) for song of the year and scooping up the award for best pop album for his collaboration with Loyiso Bala. But success didn't come easy. The Dream of an Idol tells of a harsh yet soulful journey from a destitute and fatherless upbringing in the poverty-stricken township of KwaMashu, to the highly acclaimed stages of Sun City in the idols competition. His story is that of a 'darn horse, ' of literally coming from out of nowhere with nothing and risking everything for a dream. And the dream? To use his life as a blueprint for building others' dreams and moving a new wave across borders, cultures, classes, and races to start and never stop dreaming and achieving
About the Author: Before 2010 Lloyd Cele would never have imagined himself to be one of the South Africa's most popular artists. Now days though, Lloyd finds himself traveling the country performing at top live events, being nominated for top accolades, involving himself with notable charities, recording songs with top producers, shooting videos and collaborating with leading SA artists. Long before Idols, Lloyd was always passionate about music. He was the worship director at his church and also a youth leader at Eagles Community Fellowship which equip young people to be effective in their communities. He is a self-taught musician and has learned to play the guitar, keyboard and saxophone. Lloyd's musical background has been a huge advantage for him putting together his albums. Lloyd has written and composed around 90% of the songs on the albums, titled 'One and 2nd album, 'No Limits' Lloyd's sound is about embracing South Africa's diverse culture, racial groups, and musical influences and fusing them together in one album. The formula seems to have worked on his 1st album belting out hit after hit. After Idols came 'Thanks To You', this was followed by the much loved 'Make It Easy', nominated at Sama 2012 for song of the year and led to the dance inspired hit 'My Air', one of summer 2011 biggest local hit. The next big hit was the Zulu ballad 'Thando' featuring Loyiso Bala, which was nominated for a 2012 Sama in best collaboration. The album scooped up the award for best pop album of 2012. Songs to look out for on Lloyd's 2nd album, NO LIMITS are 'Hero', which carries a strong message. Other more light hearted tracks and love songs are 'Feel The Love, ' 'Cinderella, ' 'Ngiyakhukumbula;, 'Bambo Lwami' and 'She's On Fire'. 2012 saw Lloyd receive another nod in the form of a Channel O awards nomination and in 2013 a Metro award nomination. "We are working hard to make a career in the music business and so far it's been a blessing at every turn, meeting amazing people and such supportive fans" In addition to performing and recording Lloyd is currently lending his well liked and recognizable name and face to organizations such as Reach For A Dream and Domestos Toilet campaign. The Domestos campaign builds clean and new toilets in schools that have serious sanitation problems. Lloyd encourages all people to reach for their dreams and never give up. All things are truly possible!
