Ngwenya’s love of music and performing became apparent from quite a young age. “I started singing and dancing in primary school, usually at school and at local events. I kept on pushing until I worked with a local band called Kasi Soul. We performed all over Nsikazi. The highlight of being a part of Kasi Soul was performing at the opening of a major lifestyle lounge in 2017,” she said.
In 2018, Ngwenya pursued her solo career. She started working on her music and collaborations with other artists and shared stages with South Africa’s renowned musicians, Sha Sha and Focalistic.
