Imvemnyama, born Sive Mqikela, is making waves in the South African music scene with his deeply introspective and narrative-driven approach to songwriting.

His latest singles, “Sawa Street” and “You’re Not Who You Think You Are (Cape Town),” showcase his ability to capture the essence of life’s complexities and the hidden stories of his home country.

This is how I see myself as Imvemnyama – a black (singing) sheep, offering a perspective on the unseen and unheard.”
