Journey
Holly Rey, born Holly Wasserfall in Westville, KwaZulu-Natal, is a South African singer and songwriter who began building her career while still in her early teens. Her musical path developed quickly after she secured a publishing deal at just 14, giving her early access to professional songwriting and recording spaces that helped refine her sound long before mainstream attention arrived.
She broke through to national recognition in 2018 with “Deeper,” a house-driven single that resonated widely across South Africa and went on to earn her the Record of the Year award at the South African Music Awards. The success positioned her as one of the standout young voices in the country’s evolving electronic and pop landscape.
In the years that followed, she expanded her catalogue with tracks such as “You,” “Home,” and “Slow Down” featuring Blxckie, while also releasing projects like "Unconditional" (2022) and "3 AM Pt. 1" (2023), which leaned into a more mature, layered sound.
Her profile has also grown through major award recognition and a win on 'The Masked Singer South Africa' in 2023. She continues to refine a blend of Afro-house, pop, and electronic influences shaped by both commercial appeal and emotional depth.
