Born Katleho Ramalefane in Botshabelo, the largest township in South Africa’s Free State province, Khathapillar got his start playing piano at age 12. He fell in love with amapiano, the South African style of piano-driven deep-house music, as it emerged in the late 2010s, then taught himself production during the pandemic lockdown. His big break (and Shazam debut) came last May with the release of “Diqabang,” an amapiano posse cut alongside Sol Phenduka, Smash SA, and vocalist Kamoh Xaba, with lyrics sung in Sesotho.
