Tembisa-born Bontle Smith joined a vocal group called “Current of Blackness” in varsity. Meeting with DJ Giggs Superstar from the legendary house label Soul Candi led to a feature on Deep House Chronicles 4 igniting a love for house music which would eventually bring her toward amapiano. After meeting with DJ Maphorisa, he agreed to sign her to his independent label New Money Gang, leading to features on Scorpion Kings’ “Lerato,” “Alalahi” on PianoHub and “Sandton” off The Return of the Scorpion Kings, the pandemic has no effect on her upward trajectory in 2020 when she established herself on MFR Soul’s “Amanikiniki” which reached 11 million views on Youtube in just five months. Standing strong alongside Soulful G and TDK Macassette on the powerful “iFilimu,” her latest solo single “Level Up” featuring DJ Hectic and Siya is aptly named, as she heads toward her own success as a solo vocalist in her own right.
