What's a Black South African wedding without Afrotraction as part of the soundtrack? The Afro-soul singer, self-taught pianist, and bassist, who was born Mzwandile Moya in Nelspruit in 1983, has written about the beauty and challenges of love with a sincerity that has touched the hearts of music fans since the release of his 2009 debut album, Soul Deep. But his domination began with his 2011 breakout, Soulfully Yours, thanks to the song "Ngeke K'Lunge," on which he declares his dependence on love and companionship. It's that kind of overt reverence for romantic connections—coupled with a gentle tongue owed to his phonetically tender first language, siSwati—that draws in listeners. This definitive romantic spirit is maintained even in his forays into dance music on 2021's The Launch of JazzYano, a blend of Amapiano, house, and jazz melodies.
