BIO : Siyabonga KLY Mkhize
Singer / Songwriter / Creative
With a voice that captures the hearts of females and lyrics that resonate with the modern young men, KLY [Real name Siyabonga Mkhize] is proving to be an African talent arguably treading the steps of international game changers such as Drake, PartyNextDoor & Bryson Tiller – with a twist, of course. The main variance is his African flavor and vernacular adlibs on his tracks.
KZN Born & Midrand raised, KLY is aiming to go international with this Global appeal. Having joined the entertainment industry at an early age [one of the official dancers at the 2010 World Cup and being part of internationally recognised Krump crew, 300cru, which hosted the likes of US Krump originator Tight Eyes] KLY has always been destined to be a part of the entertainment portal.
KLY [which originated as an acronym for Keep Love Young] is a sultry singer who fuses passionate lyrics which are based on his life experiences. Not only does his sound pull at the strings of the heart but his versatility echoes the lifestyle of the millennial “trap star”.
The future looks promising for the rising star as his talents have been recognised and commissioned by accomplished South African Producer, Maphorisa. KLY has worked with many talents such as Wizkid, Patoranking , Riky Rick, Mafikizolo , Shane Eagle , Emtee, Sjava , Gemini , KAMERA , Ice prince , Rich homie quan to name a few.
