Zee Nxumalo

Zee Nxumalo has quickly become one of South Africa’s most electrifying young stars. At just 22, the amapiano and Afropop sensation has already delivered platinum-certified hits like Ngisakuthanda and unforgettable anthems such as Thula Mabota, Funk55, and AmaGear. Her latest single Mamma is exploding across social media and dancefloors globally.

Rising from viral TikTok beginnings to commanding some of the country’s biggest stages—from the Soweto Derby halftime show to Rocking the Daisies—Zee has also become a sought-after brand collaborator with Puma, McDonald’s, Heineken, and Nickelodeon. Her 2024 project Inja Ye Game showcased her versatility and declared her arrival as a “top dog” in the industry.
