Maayina
Bio
South African rapper/producer Maayina combines hip-hop with pop and soul influences, much like contemporaries A Recee, and Pretty Ugly. Debuting in the early 2015s with a series of mixtapes and EPs, he issued his official debut, Silhouette in 2017 and marked his first appearance on the South African music landscape. Charting with a single titled “Three things” for a while.
Born Ayanda Sabela, Jr., he was raised by a family who provided early exposure to the spirit of proactiveness and self-belief, which he would go on to blend with his own influences and desires of becoming an artist. Highly inspired by the world-famous Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar and Success. An Entertainer since childhood, Maayina was in a Dance crew in Lamontville before he started rapping. His first foray into hip-hop was as a member of a Recording crew operating under Recognize Production, releasing Mixtapes from 2013. Later he released a solo mixtape titled Fuck the Fame. After graduating from College, he decided being a solo artist is best for his music career, during the same time he met the singer Mazwi Fortune (a friend) who introduced him to other artists in the local scene.
In 2018, he formed a team to stand behind his music career as he wanted to take it to the international scene. Linking up with his old connection Ntobeko Mnguni to manage his career, a America producer Doctor Van Sad, plus a few other individuals who are essential for growth. God bless your dreams every day.
