The Ndlovu Youth Choir captured our hearts long before they made it to the big stage on 'America's Got Talent'.

We've featured them on our website before when they gave Ed Sheeran's 'Shape Of You' an isiZulu twist - and never in our wildest dreams did we think that this choir from Limpopo would go international.  

The group made it to the finals of the competition following their electric performance of Whitney Houston and Kygo's 'Higher Love', which is currently at number 5 on the East Coast Radio Top 40.

Sadly, they lost to another talented act. His name is Kodi Lee and he's a 22-year-old musician who is blind and has autism. 

Although the choir did not bag the winner's title, news surfaced last week that they signed a deal with music mogul Simon Cowell - so be on the lookout for the that.

On the heels of the news, East Coast Radio Top 40 presenter Danny Guselli caught up with Ralf Schmitt, the man behind the smooth sounds of the Ndlovu Youth Choir. 

During their chat, they spoke about how the choir came together, if he would have done anything differently, and he also shared his views on Kodi Lee's win.
