We are proud to introduce Thato βWave Rhyderβ Molupe, one of the Young Basotho Designers for 2026, a creative force redefining sound and storytelling through music.
Born in Morija and raised in Maseru, Wave Rhyder is a songwriter, singer, and producer whose passion for music began at an early age. Inspired by his Gospel-musician parents, his journey started in church, where he first discovered the power of sound and expression.
His stage name, Wave Rhyder, given by his uncle, symbolises being ahead of the curve, riding the waves of sound and creativity. Breaking expectations, he boldly chose Hip-Hop over Gospel, a decision that surprised many but was fully supported by his parents, who encouraged him to pursue his dreams. Today, Wave Rhyder continues to push boundaries, proving that authenticity, courage, and talent can shape a new generation of Basotho creatives.
