WATCH: ‘Kancane Kancane’ hitmaker ambitious about international acclaim

Sphesihle Nkosi, known as Chley to her fans, is endevouring to share her journey through her music.

The 17-year-old amapiano vocalist, originally from Daveyton, connects with people through her melodic voice and is ready to take on the world with her touching verses.

Sharing her journey as a teen vocalist, Nkosi said her love and passion for amapiano is an advantage for her as the genre is currently dominating the world.

“I started making music last year but have sang for a long time at school, church, home and at funerals,” said Nkosi.

Not only she is a vocalist, she is also finishing her high school career at Unity Secondary School.

The young vocalist has recently dropped a banging banger titled Kancane Kancane featuring Musa Keys which made the country recognise the raw talent she has.

“Getting to see how people are loving Kancane Kancane was and still is lovely and it is nice to see people jamming to my song on a daily basis. To think of how people can relate to the song and singing about the love language is just amazing,” she said.

Nkosi said she wants to study food and hospitality at a tertiary level and would like to work with well-known artists such as Sino Msolo, Maphorisa and Ami Faki. She also idolises the likes of Lady Du, Shasha and Nokwazi.

“My family was a bit skeptical at first because they thought music was going to distract me at school but now they are very supportive in every decision I make.
“I attend extra classes when I am not in the studio because school is the most important thing one can acquire these days.” said Nkosi.

Nkosi will feature NXT LEVEL in her upcoming single called Vuka, in August.
