What does it mean to create from truth? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Khumo Kluge—musician, language teacher, and soulful storyteller—to explore the intertwining paths of music, resilience, and personal evolution.
Khumo opens up about the life experiences that shaped her latest album Memories in a Mural, a rich tapestry of sound inspired by love, loss, and transformation. From the tender track Another Sorrow to the honest reflections on parenting and self-acceptance, Khumo’s journey is a masterclass in vulnerability and creative integrity.
We talk about drifting friendships, the wisdom earned through pain, and how insecurities change with age. Khumo shares how death impacted her spiritual journey, how parenting challenged her, and how music became a medium for healing and hope.

- How creativity is shaped by the rawness of real life.
- The value of letting go, making mistakes, and embracing kindness.
- What it means to parent each child with empathy and individuality.
