Sandile Msimango, popularly known as Young Stunna, recently reflected on his album Notumato turning two this year.

He rose to fame in 2021 when he featured on Felo Le Tee and Mellow & Sleazy's amapiano hit Bopha, 

Taking to his Instagram timeline he penned a brief post, and shared he was looking forward to making more music. 

"My first album uNotumato turns two years old today. I don’t know how to celebrate, I don’t know how to feel. It’s been a long and beautiful journey. God bless everyone who has been part of it. To more beautiful memories , to more beautiful music," he wrote. 

The musician has been endorsed by many renowned artists in the music industry including  Oskido, DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small and others who he looked up to while growing up.

“Things that have happened in my life right now are so beautiful. Adiwele is me telling everyone I want this life. Let's get together. Join me and make me make this happen. I appreciate I am thanking Kabza De Small for giving me a chance,” he said.

 Speaking to TshisaLIVE about his Afro Nation perfomances, Young Stunna said he enjoyed performing on the world stage but the cherry on top was meeting fellow South Africans and concertgoers singing to his songs. 

“I was sitting with Uncle Wiz (Wizkid) and it's the second time. The first Afro Nation we couldn't have a conversation. On the second time we had a decent conversation. I met stylists from Nigeria, France and Asia. I'm talking Japan level. Besides the music — we can hear you with the music — but we want to see what you got and what you got besides the music. I'm on that now because I want to see myself working with other people.”

Previously speaking to TshisaLIVE, Young Stunna said it was Kabza De Small who helped him navigate his musical career and stardom, seeing him as a father figure in the industry through the DJ's record label Piano Hub.
