Rising amapiano star Muziqal Tone, real name Muzi Selepe, is ready to take the Mzansi music scene by storm with the release of his highly anticipated EP Vukani.
This is Muziqal Tone’s first full-length project as an independent artist, showcasing his distinctive sound as a private school amapiano producer.
His fans have been waiting for the project to drop since he broke out in the game as a luminary to watch out for with Simnandi Records in 2020.
On Vukani, Muziqal Tone collaborates with an impressive line-up of industry talents including LeeMcKrazy, Amu Classic, Kappie, Vyno Keys, Macassete, Shakaman YKTV, Mkeys and Gator Groove.
The fusion of the artists creates a vibrant and dynamic musical journey that’s generating buzz across social media platforms, particularly TikTok.
The DJ and producer hailing from Orlando East, Soweto, is passionate and dedicated to the music and wants to cement his position as a force to be reckoned with in the amapiano genre.
TshisaLIVE spoke to the rising star about his music and future ventures.
How does Vukani reflect your journey as an independent artist since breaking out in 2020?
Vukani reflects my journey as an independent artist by showcasing my growth and determination. Breaking into the scene wasn't easy, but I've learnt to navigate the industry while staying true to my sound and collaborating with like-minded artists. This EP embodies my evolution.
Can you describe the creative process behind collaborating with such a diverse line-up of artists on this EP?
It was an organic process. I reached out to artists whose energy and style resonated with mine. We shared ideas, experimented and created something special together. The collaboration was seamless, with each artist bringing unique perspectives to the project.
Which track do you feel best captures your unique sound, and why?
Ekhaya blends amapiano with elements I’m trying to introduce. The track embodies my artistic vision and the direction I want to take.
How has the reception on social media, particularly TikTok, influenced your career as a rising artist?
Social media, specially TikTok and Facebook, has significantly boosted my career. The platform's algorithm helps me reach new audiences, and users creating content with my music has increased my visibility. The engagement with fans has been incredible.
What do you hope listeners take away from your debut EP, and how do you see it shaping your future in the amapiano genre?
I hope listeners take away the authenticity and passion I poured into Vukani. I see this EP establishing me as a force in amapiano, paving the way for future collaborations and innovation. My goal is to continuously push boundaries and inspire others through my music.
