Spotify’s head of music for sub-Saharan Africa, Phiona Okumu as well stated that the music streaming platform is committed to “finding and amplifying the voices of female African creators on the African continent has led us to find exceptional voices like Nomfundo, and the amazing talents before her, such as Ayra Starr, Amaarae and DBN Gogo. It is our hope that other young women creators see this as proof that their talents can and will be recognised and supported.”
Nomfundo’s career journey began when she joined her church choir and subsequently started covers of her favourite songs, which launched her career. Award-winning producer Naxion-cross created her debut track, “Lilizela,” which was released in 2020. She is influenced by musicians like Mthunzi, Amanda Black, and Ami Faku, all of whom are talented musicians who have successfully infused African music with their unique creative viewpoints.
