Bonga Kwana, a SAMA-nominated musical prodigy, embarked on their extraordinary career in 2019, quickly rising to prominence and leaving an indelible mark on the music industry. With a unique blend of soulful melodies and captivating lyrics, Bonga has become a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary music scene.

Born to make waves, Bonga recently achieved an impressive milestone by independently amassing over 1 MILLION STREAMS, showcasing their
innate talent and resonating with a diverse audience across the globe. However, it was the groundbreaking collaboration on "Ungazilibali"
alongside luminaries such as Msaki, Ami Faku, Eryn Allen Kane, and Zolani Mahola that truly catapulted Bonga into the global spotlight in 2019.

In 2021, Bonga released their debut EP, "@NewFacesToOldProblems," which garnered widespread attention and solidified their status as a trailblazer in the music world. The album's lead single, "Nzwakazi" became an anthem for the LGBTQ+ community, while the EP earned Bonga a nomination for the prestigious South African Music Award (SAMA) in the category of Best Afropop Album only 8 months after release.

Currently, Bonga is pushing boundaries once again by collaborating with platinum award-winning producer, @Drumpope to attempt to smash a Guinness World Record for most recorded songs in a single year. This audacious endeavor reflects Bonga's relentless pursuit of innovation and excellence within the music industry.
