This young lass’s voice seduces you into feeling the house vibe! Especially if you find house music quite monotonous and don’t understand what the fuss is about.

“Bongi is a lady, who also has a wilder side to her and doesn’t deny that. I’m a South African woman. I’m striving to be a South African woman of 2007.”

A final year student studying psychology in Durban, Bongi is trying this music thing for the first time, and admits to not having experienced the struggle of getting a recording deal: After having been featured on DJ Bongs’ CD, she recorded the rest of her album with producer Bheki Dlamini and he took the final product to Melvin Khumalo at Gallo and the rest is history.

Whilst most artists would pull the “relative” card to get ahead, especially in the entertainment industry, Bongi has been rumoured to be daughter of a legendary South African reggae artist, but she prefers rather not to talk about it. She breathes no word about this on or off the record. At the time of the signing the recording executives knew nothing about the relation and it is by mere coincidence that they are under the same company. So this 23 year old believes “My possible relation to any musician had nothing to do with my getting the deal.”

She says she sees the ablum success as a step forward after her fathers death & she feels annoyed when asked about her fathers death by insensitive people.. All the best Bongi!!"
