Shimza

Descriere

Combining his unrelenting passion for music with an inextinguishable desire to make a positive impact on his surroundings, Shimza is a totem figure in South Africa’s music scene and one of the leaders of house music in Africa.
Making worldwide waves with releases on the likes of Cadenza Records and Knee Deep In Sound, Shimza launched KUNYE (which means together in Xhosa/Zulu) in November 2020, an imprint that provides a bridge between South Africa’s emerging producers and the global stage.

Inviting a selection of artists to perform in KUNYE’s weekly livestream sessions, Shimza formed a new movement for Afro Tech Sounds, while amplifying the label’s mission to unite people through the love of music.

Shimza’s musical skills can be traced back to the young age of fifteen, fuelled by the encouragement of his ever-supportive family. In 2009, he launched his philanthropic One Man Show in Soweto, South Africa to raise funds for underprivileged children. Maturing into annual event, OMS now hosts over 25,000 people each year and has seen the inclusion of some of the country’s most in-demand artists, such as AKA, Black Coffee and
Black Motion.

Such was its success; the concept was subsequently introduced to European audiences with events in Portugal, Spain and France. Signing with the highly acclaimed Soulistic Music label in 2013, he met another career milestone, joining a roster boasting the country’s
most revered artists.

This event is 18+ or accompanied by parents or legal guardians.
Invites are available until 1AM.
