After her parents separated, Makhadzi and her two siblings had to stay with their mother. She completed her grade 12 at Mukula Integrated School.

She holds a degree in Public Relations, and is currently studying Drama.

Makhadzi’s career started at the age of 12, when used to perform at Taxi ranks, getting money from people’s offerings.

She later joined Makirikiri Musical Groupas a dancer. This allowed her to travel and see many parts of the world, showcasing her skills.

She says the experience she gained as a dancer made her fall in love with the arts, and awakened her desire to be a singer.

 

 

 

 

 

Her big break came when one studio manager came across her amateur recordings and fell in love with them, thus landing an opportunity to record in the studio.

Her first album was released in 2012, and she has been creating and dropping music ever since.

Troubles in the industry

Makhadzi’s road to stardom was not an easy one, particularly in the early days of her career.

In 2020, Makhadzi detailed how she was exploited by her former manager, Rita Dee Nephawe.

In a series of tweets, Makhadzi alleged that her former manager was pocketing all of the proceeds from her music.
