Hlombe

Hlombe is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in live performance. Her passion for music ignited at a young age when she joined her primary school’s musical choir. In January 2015, she advanced her skills as a trainee at the Rainbow Arts Organisation, where she got exposed into music composition and theatre.

Her music is a fusion of Ukombela—a traditional African rhythm—and African jazz, enriched by the resonant tones of uHadi. This unique soundscape reflects her belief that music is a divine gift from her ancestors, as means of communication between her and the world. Her songwriting often reflects her spiritual journey, self seeking and serving as a reminder that, despite feeling alone or lost, she is connected to a lineage of those who have walked this path before. To her, music is not a new creation but a continuation of a rich, ancestral tradition.

Hlombe has performed at notable venues such as Villa Viva, KAYA Café, Streetopia, Homecoming Center, Colab 22 and NostalgiaForYou. In 2023, she also appeared on Cape Town TV's HomeGrown, further showcasing her talents. Most recently, She graduated from Bridges For Music for a 5 monts course in Music production, entrepreneurship & Mindfulness solidifying her commitment to personal and professional growth in the music industry.
