Uncle Vinny, a young and rapidly rising star in the South African music scene, has captured the hearts of many with his infectious energy and unique sound. With a style rooted in amapiano—a genre that merges deep house, jazz, and lounge music characterized by synths, airy pads, and wide percussive basslines—Uncle Vinny has become a cultural icon among the youth for not just his music, but his vibrant approach to fashion and dance as well.

Born Kabelo Vincent Ndlovu, Uncle Vinny grew up in the lively streets of Johannesburg, where he nurtured his passion for entertainment. He entered the spotlight at a tender age, making waves as an event host and dancer before solidifying his role in the music industry. His recent releases, such as "Ke Mang?" featuring the talents of ANATII and Justin99, showcase his ability to curate collaborative hits. Tracks like "Piki Piki" and "PHOLAS," the latter of which stars Thabsie and 24, further display his skill in blending captivating melodies with a rhythmic bounce that defines the modern sound of South Africa's youth culture. Uncle Vinny continues to reinforce his place in the vibrant world of amapiano with each spirited release, including "NOMAYINI," which enlists Gustavington and Asbonge thee Vocalist to deliver a track guaranteed to get listeners moving. With his finger on the pulse of South Africa's beats and his eyes set on global recognition, Uncle Vinny's ascension in the world of music is undeniably on a meteoric trajectory.
