Ayanda Ntanzi

 Born in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, grew up in a musical family and like many gospel vocalist, discovered his singing talent at church. He later went solo around 2011, and released his debut album Udumo which earned him nominations at award shows, where he walked away as the winner for Best Urban Contemporary Gospel at the SABC Crown Gospel Award.

Known for his soulful voice and music that blends contemporary gospel sounds with Zulu-influenced rhythms. His hit "Nasempini" translated so well, that it was later remixed by Amapiano producer, and has since also performed well on the charts.
