Afrotainment Strikes Again
Afrotainment, the iconic South African record label that brought stars like DJ Tira and Big Nuz to the forefront, has unveiled its newest signing—a groundbreaking Gqom duo called SunOrnza.
A Bold Entry into the Scene
SunOrnza’s self-titled debut EP is setting the local music scene ablaze. Loud, energetic, and unapologetically feminine, the project marks a pivotal moment for women in Gqom—long a male-dominated genre.
An All-Star Collaboration
The EP brings together a high-powered roster of collaborators:
DJ Tira, Captain, Campmasters, EMZA, Assiye Bongzin, Naked Souls, BenTen, Bhuwa G, Naitor, and more.
These partnerships amplify SunOrnza’s fierce energy while introducing fresh sonic layers to their sound.

Creative Chemistry, Individual Fire
On tracks like Makoti Ekhishini and Drip Drip, SunOrnza showcases their unique twist—Sunshine and Ornica sometimes appear separately. Sunshine doesn’t feature on Drip Drip, while Ornica sits out Makoti Ekhishini, highlighting their ability to shine solo without losing group cohesion.
Beyond the Beat: Gqom with a Message
Makoti Ekhishini and others go beyond club bangers, delivering layered rhythms alongside empowering lyrics—elevating Gqom from genre to movement.
Rooted in Durban, Representing SA
This EP is a celebration of South African identity, street culture, and feminine strength—expressed through the gritty pulse of Durban-born Gqom. SunOrnza is not just making music—they’re making a statement.
Making Waves & Getting Airplay
With early radio support from Gagasi FM and nods from major Gqom players, SunOrnza’s debut is gaining momentum. The rollout includes a visual campaign that matches the music’s intensity and style.
SunOrnza: A New Chapter for Gqom
SunOrnza isn’t asking for space in the Gqom scene—they’re taking it. Fearless, fierce, and fired up, they’re rewriting the genre’s rules and inviting the world to witness Gqom’s next evolution.
