SA: Shaun Stylist shares new single JJ PHAKATHI

The release, now available for streaming and download, marks Shaun Stylist’s recording deal with Warner Music Africa (WMA).

“The song is about encouraging people to go for anything they want to achieve even beyond and outside the music industry – that any goal that they visualise can be materialised,” Shaun Stylist said. “I’ve had a love of music since early childhood and the support of my family, which spilled over into my adult life as well as my broader community both online and in person, has always encouraged me to pursue this dream.”

Since releasing ‘Oskae Beya Fatshe’ and ‘Uyabizwa’ independently in 2022, Shaun has been known for being an influencer who is in tune with his aesthetics fashionwise.

Shaun Stylist said the decision to join the amapiano scene was a result of seeing the opportunity for growth not just as an artist, but as a nation. “Amapiano is the fastest-growing South African genre that is all about youth and culture. This genre is making a mark even overseas and this aligns naturally with my aim of taking my music abroad.”

He added: “Warner Music Africa has a very large footprint in Africa and overseas and they have done amazing work as an entity. I want to succeed with my music and this deal will not only benefit me but will unleash budding talent onto the scene.”
