Butholezwe

Born Butholezwe Ntini in July 1994, “Butholezwe” is a vibrant and ferociously talented afro fusion artist based in South Africa Johannesburg but originally from Zimbabwe. His love for music blossomed at a young age born out of the serenading voices from his local church music groups and congregates. This stirred within him a longing to be a musician, and in 2010, he co-founded an acapella band with his childhood friends and true to their calling as musicians, 2 years later they took part in what was at the time, the ultimate talent search competition in the country, Starbrite talent search. Unfortunately due to financial constraints, they had faced premature exit from the competition at the top 40 stage. This only fuelled his passion for music even more and he kept the dream alive until he recorded his first Afro Soul single titled “Ngikonile” in May 2019, a song which seeks to display the charm and dexterity displayed by African man when they ask for forgiveness from their partners. The unique style of the song captured the hearts of many, a radio DJ and they got the song playing at numerous radio stations.
