Journey
Nkululeko Freedom Mvandaba, widely recognized as Leko M, is a South African singer and songwriter working across Afro-house, Afrobeats, and soul-influenced sounds. His approach is rooted in clarity and emotion, with a focus on expression over excess. Rather than trying to impress, he delivers with a calm, direct tone that connects easily and leaves a lasting impression.
Before stepping out as a solo act, he spent time building his foundation behind the scenes through writing, composing, and collaborations. That period saw him work closely with artists such as Euphonik, DJ Tira, and Thakzin. His appearance on “All The Moves” with Euphonik marked a turning point, reaching number one on 5FM and expanding his visibility.
His debut single, “Summer,” released in December 2023, introduced his sound with a clear sense of direction. Follow-up collaborations, including “Woza La” with DJ Tira and “Fighter” with Thakzin, strengthened his position within South Africa’s dance circuit.
Leko M’s strength lies in restraint and intention. His songwriting draws from real-life themes such as love, growth, and uncertainty, delivered with a steady, conversational tone. As his catalog grows, he continues to build a body of work that reflects his identity, staying consistent while reaching a wider audience.
