Born Ayanda Oratile Yumba in Kagiso in 2002, multi-talented producer/DJ Yumbs’ love for music runs deep. By the age of ten, he was already playing drums at his local church. His musical gift would then be nurtured when he attended the National School of Art, where he learned how to play bass and electric guitar, and taught himself how to play piano. At the age of 16, the multi-instrumentalist became the drummer for Priddy Ugly and performed with him at Back To The City Festival (2018). In his senior year (2020), Yumbs was the main composer and musical director for the production Hip-Hop Helmet, which premiered at the Nelson Mandela Theatre. The self-taught pianist then went on to further his studies at the Academy of Sound Engineering, majoring in Audio Technology & Sound Engineering. Having harnessed his talent and knowledge about music, Yumbs made his first foray into the commercial stage in 2020, by co-producing Musa Keys’ “Vula Mlomo”. He then went on to work on Cassper Nyovest’s “Ama Number Ayi '10”, Slade’s “Wamuhle”, Babalwa M’s “Makwande”, and Kelvin Momo’s multi-platinum-selling album Ivy League. In addition to being part of a music camp with the likes of Will.I.Am and Pharell Williams, amongst other international stars, this year Yumbs has collaborated with Riky Rick, Major League, Blxckie, Ami Faku, Msaki, and Venom & Shishiliza on their smash single “Sondela”, as well as taking the role of being the executive producer for Pabi Cooper’s debut EP Cooperville.
