Zee Nxumalo: South Africa’s Rising Star Sets the Stage for a Stellar 2025

By

2024 has been nothing short of extraordinary for 21-year-old amapiano sensation Zee Nxumalo. With her unwavering confidence, genre-defying artistry, and an ever-growing list of accolades, Zee Nxumalo has not only solidified her place in the South African music industry but has also set the tone for her global ambitions. This is the year that Zee Nxumalo proved she’s not just part of the game—she’s leading it.
 
Zee Nxumalo’s highly anticipated EP, Inja Ye Game, marked a pivotal moment in her career. Released in November, the 10-track project showcases a unique blend of amapiano, Afro-pop, and gqom sounds, capturing Zee Nxumalo’s versatility and fearless approach to music. Tracks like “Ucingo” highlight her storytelling prowess, while the high-energy “Drip Juluka,” featuring DJ Tira and a powerhouse lineup, redefines expectations for young South African artists. With deeply personal songs like “Xolela,” the EP reflects Zee’s resilience and authenticity, making it resonate with fans both locally and abroad.

Her rise didn’t stop with music. In 2024, Zee Nxumalo made waves with standout brand collaborations. She has just been announced as a Brand Ambassador for Puma, joining forces with fellow amapiano star Young Stunna to lead the brand in South Africa for 2025. Zee Nxumalo’s creativity extended to her recent partnership with McDonald’s, where she crafted an exclusive amapiano track and a viral dance video to celebrate the South African launch of the Grimace Shake. Both projects showcased her ability to merge her artistic vision with major global brands, cementing her status as a cultural trendsetter.
 
Beyond endorsements, Zee Nxumalo’s influence extended to uncharted territories. She became the youngest panellist ever on the Roast of Pearl Thusi, bringing her wit and vibrant energy to one of the most iconic platforms in entertainment. On the global stage, Zee Nxumalo was handpicked to recreate the SpongeBob Theme Song with an amapiano twist, performing it live at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards—a clear nod to her universal appeal.

As if her schedule wasn’t packed enough, Zee Nxumalo embarked on her first multi-city European tour, captivating audiences across England, Ireland, Scotland, and the Netherlands. These performances introduced her sound to new markets, solidifying her status as a South African artist with global ambitions.
 
Rounding out her achievements, Zee Nxumalo was named Apple Music’s Up Next artist and earned a nomination for the GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2024 in the prestigious “People’s Choice Award” category—the only female nominee. These accolades are a testament to her undeniable impact and promise for the future.
 
With such a dynamic year under her belt, it’s clear that Zee Nxumalo is not just a rising star—she’s a force shaping the future of South African music and culture. If 2024 was any indication, the world should brace for an even bigger 2025.
