“This nomination is deeply humbling. It shows what we are building through maskandi is being recognised beyond music charts and traditional platforms,” he said.
Khuzani believes the recognition highlights maskandi’s cultural and commercial relevance.
“It proves maskandi is not only traditional music but a living, evolving genre that can compete on major platforms without losing its identity.”
The singer said his fans, family and team remain his biggest source of support and keep him grounded amid the growing buzz.
