Today, we feature Dumza Maswane, who is an experienced musician and soulful singer. Dumza enjoys the support of a wide range of listiners, aspirant and discerning music lovers. His music is intimately attached to the history of jazz music and its culture. Dumza writes and co-produces his own music. DUMZA MASWANA is a name that is sending a strong message to all the music lovers. He is a special gem who is full of smoke and passion for what he does.
Born on the 14th of April 1983 in Peddie, in the Eastern Cape, Dumza is a versatile musician who started singing at a tender age of 9.
His debut album ‘Molo’ has hit the entertainment industry by storm. The album is produced by Dumisani Maswana himself. He is considered by many a very humble and down to earth artist, with a lot of respect and trust in his African culture and religion.
In 2005, Dumza, as he is popularly known, had the rare opportunity of sharing the stage with the internationally acclaimed Kenny Lattimore and Chante Moore during their tour in Port Elizabeth. This modest and up and coming star began to hit the music scene with his fresh and equally inspirational genre of Afro soul jazz which has an unusual flare of melancholy and exuberance all at the same time. This home-grown talent is certainly a must see and hear. His music appeals to a wider crossover audience both in South Africa and beyond the South African borders.
