The South African R&B scene has constantly been overshadowed by the local hip hop culture that seems to be producing new artistes everyday. There is no doubt about that!
While hip hop is getting all the attention, let's not forget the R&B wonders. One of these sensations is Ayanda Jiya.
With an incredible song such as Go Go Girl under her belt- the sky is definitely the limit for her. But she has even bigger plans for the year.
"R&B is not dead in South Africa. By releasing Go Go Girl, I wanted to prove that the genre is still alive. As a musician you can not be complacent. You have to grow and for you to grow you need to evolve and experiment," she said in an interview with Sunday World.
The 20 year old not only sings but she also owns her own record company - Ayandastand music.
"I want to get to a point where I am very happy with all that I have achieved in the industry. And I would like the opportunity to create and write music for other musicians," she stated.
Jiya is going to be releasing an album in August. Serenade us again girl, serenade us!
