Tumelo_za is an emerging talent in the world of South African music, especially known for their contributions to the amapiano genre—a style that blends deep house, jazz, and lounge music with distinctive percussive elements. Tumelo_za has been progressively making their mark through collaborations with notable artists such as Tyler ICU and DJ Maphorisa. Their music has a strong foundation in the rhythmic and melodic traditions of South African music, while also infusing contemporary electronic beats and global music influences.

One of Tumelo_za's recent highlights includes the track "Isukile," a collaborative effort with Tyler ICU that showcases their skill in crafting infectious hooks and dance floor-ready beats. The "Boarding School Piano Edition" of their songs like "Second," "Bayede," and "Azikhale Ke" reflect Tumelo_za's dexterity in adapting and evolving the amapiano sound, providing a soulful and refined take on the genre that appeals to a wide audience. Their work in "Mnike," available both in a radio edit and an extended version featuring DJ Maphorisa, Nandipha808, Ceeka RSA, and Tyron Dee, illustrates their ability to curate a rich and diverse musical experience that resonates with fans across South Africa and beyond. With the release of "NGIMOJA," alongside Khanyisa and Tyrondee, Tumelo_za continues to solidify their status as one of the fresh and innovative voices in contemporary South African music.
