Amapiano Visionary Drops Highly Anticipated Project
Lehlohonolo Marota, widely known as Kwiish SA, has once again proven why he remains one of Amapiano’s most revered innovators with the release of his new album, Phola Land. The celebrated DJ, producer, and remixer continues to push the boundaries of South Africa’s biggest cultural export, delivering a body of work that encapsulates his signature depth and artistic evolution.
From Vosloorus to the World
Born in 1998 and raised in Vosloorus, Kwiish SA’s musical journey began at home, experimenting with his family’s DJ equipment late at night. After officially launching his DJ career in 2013, he quickly transitioned into music production. His early fusion of Gqom, Deep House, and Jazzy elements helped shape the distinct Amapiano sound that now resonates across global dance floors.
The Rise of “The Prince of Amapiano”
Kwiish SA’s national breakthrough arrived in 2018 with “Gong Gong”, a defining single that catapulted him into the spotlight and earned him the title “The Prince of Amapiano.” Since then, he has continually expanded the genre’s creative boundaries through bold experimentation, compelling rhythms, and rich musical storytelling.

The album blends everything fans love about his sound—deep grooves, intricate layers, expressive melodies—while introducing fresh textures that highlight his continued growth.
