Johan Sifiso Sithebe, better known by his stage name DaMabusa, is a dynamic force in South Africa’s music scene.

Hailing from Kwamhlanga, Mpumalanga, DaMabusa's musical journey began in 2007 with a clap and tap choir, but his evolution into a vocal powerhouse and record label owner truly took flight with the founding of his own choir in 2019.

His breakthrough came in 2022 with the release of his gold-selling debut single, Umama Owangizalayo, which marked the start of a promising solo career. 

Since then, DaMabusa has expanded his musical repertoire with an EP, Izipho, and several successful singles, including Syeke.

His new venture, a record label, has already produced hits like Hamba Juba and Ngcel’buye.

As he garners recognition with nominations from the Afrime Ghana Music Awards and SATMA awards, DaMabusa continues to captivate audiences both locally and internationally with his soulful vocals and innovative music.
