Namakau Star

Bio

Namakau Star, born Rhema Stephanie Namakau Socika on August 11th, 1995, is a South African
singer-songwriter, rapper, producer, speaker, activist, and award-winning creative, known for her
unique style that blends R&B, soul, and hip-hop. She is of Zambian descent but was born and

raised in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Namakau Star's creative abilities extend beyond music, as she is also a notable force in advertising
and film. Her fans call her the "Vibe Goddess" due to her electrifying live performances, where she
seamlessly weaves together soulful melodies and sharp lyrics, creating an immersive experience

that transcends traditional live shows.

Despite being 100% independent, Namakau Star has won over the hearts of many indie music
lovers and has been recognized by several platforms, including Apple Music, MTV Base, and top
South African music publications such as Hype Magazine, Texx and the city, and Zkhiphani.
In 2022, Namakau Star released her 7-track EP, "Landing," which was noted as one of the most
unique projects to come out of the alternative scene in Africa. The EP is an ode to the Neo-Soul
and 90s boombap genres and has garnered critical acclaim, including an award from Galore Media
as artist of the year. Namakau Star's creative experience has made way for her to become an
influential voice off the stage, serving as a panelist speaker at Fame Week Africa, a Jury member
for the Searching for Paradise competition, and the first ambassador of 2023's Africa Rising Music

Conference.

Namakau Star's dedication to her craft and unwavering passion for music have allowed her to
perform at major events like Fame Africa Week, Africa Rising Music Conference, Bushfire Festival,
South Africa's largest festival, and XP Music Futures in Saudi Arabia. She is currently collaborating
with international artists and just finished her first Germany tour where she showcased her
exceptional talent and creative vision to a new audience. Marking the inception of a new Namakau

Star era, her latest EP „Life On Pluto" was released on October 20th.
