The vocalist behind all the #Amapiano chart toppers

Amapiano has grown into a popular genre across South Africa.

Essentially, amapiano is a mix of deep house and gqom, all mixed in with the jazzy, soulful sound of a piano.

Although people like Tall Ass
Tee and The Soul Dictators are cited as the creators of this sound, many other artists have jumped aboard the amapiano ship to create hits of their own, from Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa to Samthing Soweto, Scorpion Brothers and even Mlindo The Vocalist.

They all teamed up with Zimbabwean vocalist Sha Sha to create their hits.

The young beauty from Mutare has become an in-demand vocalist in amapiano and it's no surprise.

After pursuing music professionally and having her singles hit the airwaves in Zimbabwe, she decided to move to South Africa and pursue music here. 

She started doing gigs and soon started growing a fan base but things really changed when a cab driver she befriended introduced her to DJ Maphorisa.

Following her introduction to the DJ, Sha Sha was featured on songs like Nge Thanda Wena and Akulaleki, which has helped cement her name in the music industry.
