Since breaking into the scene with her first mainstream single “Pholile” featuring industry heavyweights Azana and Mlindo The Vocalist earlier in the year, Zee Nxumalo has firmly established herself as South Africa’s next top new female vocalist.
After following up “Pholile’s” success by showcasing her versatility with back-to-back hit features on veteran Zulu Mkhathini and newcomer Bandros’ “Shay’moto” and “Nguwe” respectively, Zee is now taking the music industry by storm with her new collaboration with DBN Gogo and Shakes & Les titled “Funk 55”.
Just a month since its release in late November, “Funk55” has already been streamed over 3 million times across various platforms and is fast becoming the song of the summer.
Speaking on the secret to her recent success, Zee explained:
“I think it’s just consistency. It’s not always a matter of always making hits, it’s not about making big songs, it’s just consistency. It’s always being there at the studio sessions, photoshoots, promotional opportunities, and everywhere else I’m needed.”
