Dreams don't work unless you do

Stefan Ludik is a household name in Namibia and tjil thought it high time to sit down with him for some Q & A. Tell us a little bit about Elvis se Seun and your chosen genre? After the Big Brother Africa competition I got massive support and I was very grateful for the English market and my Namibian supporters. I tried to do an English hip hop rock type of album and after doing that, I also got a lot of support in the Afrikaans industry because I starred in a few Afrikaans soap operas. I tried to cater for that audience as well and that's why I chose the name, Elvis se Seun. Is what you are doing now what you always wanted to?I'm more of a songwriter. I've always wanted to write songs and entertain people. So yes, I'm doing what I always wanted to do and, I love what I'm doing. It's got its challenges but, it's definitely something I wanted to do. The satisfaction I get when I see people buying the album or telling me how they enjoy the songs so much. What is your biggest success to date?There were some proud moments especially when I had more time to do projects in Namibia. I'm a very patriotic and proud Namibian. I think we've got a beautiful country and awesome people. Like when we did the Hart Van Windhoek Music Festival for Huisgenoot. We also travelled to about 400 schools with the blessing of the Ministry of Education. Those were proud moments for me, being involved with projects in Namibia and promoting Namibia.How has MultiChoice enriched your life?I knew I was going to get into music somewhere and when that opportunity came along with the Big Brother Africa competition, I entered. It was because of a lot of luck and blessings that I got where I am today. You can't just enter a competition and then expect things to just happen for you. What's next for Stefan Ludik?I am just focusing on the album now. We have a lot of shows with Elvis se Seun this year. I hope in two or four years that I can move back to Namibia, use my contacts and experience to start doing more projects in Namibia. Even staying in Namibia, which would be my ultimate.Do you have a message for those who would like to pursue their dreams like you did?Take that leap if you really believe in yourself and have a dream. Dreams are good but they require you to work hard and that's also not a guarantee. June Shimuoshili
