TJ Zimba is a hip-hop artist so good that he broke the “Australian Idol” rules. After crushing “Location” by Khalid, the judges didn’t want to deliberate on whether he should be in this comp or not. Against the will of the network, they gave him a Golden Ticket.
When speaking about this decision, Amy said, “We’re going to get in big trouble, but I don’t care. You’re too good.”
As it stands, TJ Zimba is quite the mysterious fellow, and only has five Instagram posts up. What’s more, all of these posts are about his music. If you want to learn if TJ will reveal more about himself on Instagram, click the link here.
