A Mastermind of his own sound, Bonga Ntozini - better known as Karyenadasoul - has founded his career on an ever evolving understanding of sonic and musical sophistication. From his fluency behind the decks, to a multifaceted musical aptitude in the studio, he is renowned for well orchestrated productions where soulful elements take centerstage. Like The platinum selling record ‘iMali’ fuse African soundscapes and vocals with electronic elements, ‘Something More’ with Jordan arts is an edgy and striking composition, whilst ‘Umthandazo’ and  ‘Jacaranda’ (featuring Ami Faku and Msaki respectively) take us on an all encompassing, uplifting Afro House journey.

A captivating virtuoso of boundless sonic possibility, he has co-produced alongside Zakes Bantwini & Kasango on the 2021 hit ‘Osama’ and with Black Coffee  on the hit record ‘Any Other Way ft ZHao;Karyendasoul’s talent and tireless work ethic , combined with a prolific and consistent release shcedule has established him as one of the most compelling artists within both the African and International Electronic Music scenes.

With a career built on a string of well deserved accolades, a consistent delivery of refined euphoric productions and a glowing reputation amongst a network of equally well respected artists within the scene; Karyendasoul was able to build WeLive4OurMusic. His piece-de-resistance comprised of ten records, in a musical voyage reflecting his versatility and innovation. WL4OM opens with its lead title - a collaboration with BokkieUlt featuring an otherworldly vocal from Sai Hle - setting the tone for the ensuing 67 minutes. Karyendasoul calls on the vocal prowess of Miči, Ami Faku, Jordan Arts, Simmy,Zakes Bantwini, Msaki and Sykes in a sonic tapestry weaved with his characteristically meandering arps and synths, cosmic afro house grooves, with provocative displays of percussive flair building energy throughout. The conclusion, a seven minute solo cut showcasing the best of Karyendasoul’s distinctive sound, powerful melodies and drum patterns coalesce from the start - before an intense string inspired refrain builds to a climatic reintroduction of the main elements; in a faultless finale to a mellifluous masterpiece.

In the wake of what continues to be an excellent reception of a debut album; Karyendasoul has built his WL4OM tour traveling across Africa, Asia, America and Europe - sharing his trademark sound and awe inspiring live performances on the International stage. His reputation continues to grow, his work ethic stands strong and with a string of upcoming projects on the horizon, we eagerly await what sonic spectacles Karyendasoul will unveil next.
