After years of writing in silence, Soweto singer-songwriter K’zee Donga is finally stepping into the spotlight with her debut single Friday Night, set for release on 10 July 2026 across all major streaming platforms.

Born Khumbuzile Tshabalala, the rising artist has spent years developing her sound behind the scenes before deciding to officially introduce herself to the South African music scene with a track rooted in growth, courage and self-expression.

Her journey began at the age of eight after watching Titanic, when she wrote her first song and performed it for friends, a moment she says planted the seed for her passion for music.

“For years, I kept my music to myself because I wasn’t sure if I was ready. Releasing Friday Night is my way of choosing courage and finally sharing a piece of who I am with the world,” she said.

Despite her early start, she says self-doubt often slowed her progress, with much of her songwriting kept private for years.
