her Maker, she takes the hearer way back into nostalgia. The bravery in her entire delivery is
amazingly unwavering and consistent, controlled in its interpretation provoking a healing
comforting sound justly reinforcing the comparison in character to “Umvelinqangi” (a Zulu word
which translates to Divine Consciousness) which is considered the source of all that has been,
that is, and all that ever will be.Nkosazana – Vintage Heritage
Soft spoken, a lady, a true princess is who Nkosazana is Born uSindisiwe Zama Sibiya, in eThand’
Izwe, kwaMhlabauyalingana on the outskirts of rural KwaZulu Natal, Nkosazana possesses all
the qualities of a star in the rising, unparalleled and unstoppable. Being the first of three
daughters and raised by a musical father, the writing has always been on the wall for this gifted
soul. She performed with her father’s family band, Vukani People Drama & Cultural Music Club
from the tender age of 11.

Though new to her role as a solo artist, she’s no “mafik’izolo” to the performing arts industry.
Her father’s family band was only her beginning. After she completed her Music Performance
Diploma with Central Johannesburg College she went on to play leading roles in quality
productions such as Umoja, Soweto Spiritual Singers as led by Vicky Vilakazi, Lebo M’s Lion King,
and many more. She has also collaborated with music industry greats such as Dorothy Masuku,
Abigail Khubeka, Zahara, Thandiswa Mazwai, Khanyo Maphumulo, Kholeka Sosibo,and Sayi
Ntuli, whilst travelling extensively across the African diaspora: Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Nigeria,
to name a few, and even toured across Europe, the UK, Scotland, and London. Her soulful cry of
instruction in the well televised commercial Ad as commissioned by the National Department of
Health, “Phila!” is simply amazing.
With a permanent beaming smile brightening her well rounded pretty face, she quickly
quips, ”Mina I was born to sing umthetho wam’. Ngiyacula! I’m a natural born performer,
nokugida ngiyagida and I love it!”
Imbued with a special sense of aural excellence and songwriting skills, coupled with her resolve
to further pursue the exciting world of music production, quality conscious music lovers are set
for a treat with the arrival of this awesome princess of contemporary Zulu music. Her single,
“Emnqeni” which is a lovely combo of urban, Zulu culture successfully fused with a positive
message to appeal to a wide scope of an inter-generational mix of music audiences, with no
compromise to quality, is bound to set the music scene on fire and is already enjoying
reasonably positive reviews across all media and audience platforms. Her second song in her
offering, “Ithemba Lam’” is an infectious love song that allows love birds the luxury of words
when even words fail to express, with a kind, yet compelling loving tone of spirit. This offering is
set to catapult this musical genius into instant international Superstardom
Featured in the current hit song “iDlozi Lami” by DJ Obza, which has gained all together about
15,000,000 streams, views, hashtags, shares, etc. across social media platforms, it is clear that
this African Princess is about to take the music scene by storm! Her recent performance of
iDlozi Lami on the show Live Amp on SABC 1 is another display of her virtuosity both as a
vocalist and a performer of note.
