In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Back in 2018, I made a beat on my phone and played it for my sister Ziyanda. She smiled and told me to keep going. That moment stuck with me—it gave me the confidence to take music seriously and believe that I was meant for this.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small, Piano Hub Dj owam, The Commandments of God - EP Emtee, Manando My top albums are Piano Hub by Kabza De Small, Manando by Emtee, and my own The Commandments of God. These shaped my sound with infectious Amapiano rhythms and deep storytelling. They inspire me to create music that truly moves people.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Mthebelele (feat. Gemini Rsa)” Mthebelele is loved by my supporters because of its raw Bacardi-inspired energy and street vibe. It quickly became a fan favorite, especially with the #MthebeleleChallenge. The way people connect to it reminds me why I make music.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of the most memorable moments in my career was when my music video“Nyani Nyani” aired on Trace Africa. It was the first time I saw my work on a major music channel, and it made me feel proud, knowing my sound had reached a new and wider audience.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? One thing still on my bucket list is to tour across Africa and Europe, performing my original tracks for fans in different countries. I also want to release a full studio album that charts internationally and tells my story through sound
