Journey
Sekiwe Mahlangu, known as Sekiwe, is a South African singer, songwriter, and vocal contributor, mostly popular for her soft, emotive voice and her role in shaping the more soulful side of Amapiano and deep house music. Rather than focusing on a solo spotlight career, she is best known for her work as a featured artist on collaborative projects with leading producers in the South African music scene.
She began her musical journey in her youth, and she discovered her affinity for opera music during high school. Embracing the power of choral music, she connected with Lehlohonolo Ndlovu and joined the IT Group Factory, collaborating with esteemed artists. Sekiwe later fell in love with the guitar and joined the Vusi Mahlasela Music Academy, expanding her knowledge of African rhythms.
She gained recognition through appearances on tracks such as Kelvin Momo’s “Intro”, where her vocals add warmth and depth to the song’s atmospheric, piano-driven production, and “uYangibiza” with Mas Musiq and Aymos, which further showcased her ability to blend seamlessly into layered Amapiano arrangements.
Sekiwe’s strength lies in her subtle but impactful vocal style, often used to enhance mood, melody, and emotional texture rather than dominate the track. She is also credited as a songwriter on some projects, contributing to the creative structure behind the music she features on.
Overall, Sekiwe is regarded as a quiet but important presence in the Amapiano space, valued for her consistency, versatility, and ability to elevate collaborative productions without needing the spotlight.
