Lekani

Emerging from the depths of alternative hip hop and R&B, Lekani blends introspection, soul, and innovation. Born to a Tsonga father and a Venda mother, his music reflects a rich cultural heritage and draws influence from artists like Saba, Noname, and Smino. He began making music at 16, finding his voice through sound. Formerly releasing under a different name, he now performs simply as Lekani—a reintroduction marking a new creative chapter. In 2024, he performed at the Acoustics and Poetry event, appeared on ChoiceFM 101.1FM, and was featured on NWUfm. With each release, he continues to push boundaries and carve out a sound that’s uniquely his. L E K A N I
