Journey
Zandile Nxumalo, performing as Zee Nxumalo, is a Swazi-South African singer and songwriter who has quickly become one of the most exciting young voices in Amapiano. Her performances, style, and growing catalogue of hit songs have helped her stand out in South Africa’s music industry, earning her both critical praise and passionate fan support.
Zee’s music mixes Amapiano, a South African genre known for its deep house rhythms and jazzy piano lines, with pop and Afro-soul elements, giving her songs broad appeal. She first gained attention with her debut extended play, "KwaNxumalo," released in June 2022, which introduced her as a fresh and promising artist. Her breakthrough came with the 2023 single "Funk 55" alongside Shakes & Les and DBN Gogo, certified 5× Platinum in South Africa. Following that success, Zee released tracks such as "Thula Mabota," also certified Platinum, and continued collaborations that expanded her reach across Amapiano.
She has received nominations for and won awards, including SofnFree Artist of the Year at the Basadi in Music Awards and a South African Music Award (SAMA) for "Motsepe Foundation Record of the Year." Today, Zee continues to write, record, and release music while building her profile with live performances and cultural influence across Africa. She also serves as a brand ambassador for PUMA SE, representing the brand in fashion and lifestyle campaigns.
