Dumza Maswana is an AfroSoul & Jazz artist, currently working on his second album. Born in the Eastern Cape, in Peddie, based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

South African born and Dimbaza bred, Number is a talented musician who practices the skill of rhyming in a fresh mix of Vernacular and English rap. Number’s music encompasses various elements from various musical backgrounds. It involves street-talk and highly influential messages in isiXhosa, English and other South African languages, yet largely comprehended lingo. Number brings a different flavor and sound, not only to Hip-Hop music but also to the music scene in general. One of his objectives is to encourage and inspire the Eastern Cape Hip-Hop community and bring it to National appeal and spotlight.

Number is not new to the music industry; he signed with Johannesburg based Rubber Ribs records in 2008 and released his debut album “East Side Flavor” in the same year.  The album did reasonably well but did not hit the expected heights. It’s hugely original and Xhosa infused distinctive sound endeared Number to fans throughout the Eastern Cape and S.A. 
His singles "Bomb", "Ndiyabulela", "Back to Earth", "No Turning Back"  and hit "Ubomi" have received extensive airplay from radio stations like TruFm, Umhlobo Wenene, Bay Fm, Fort Hare Fm and Rhodes Community Radio. His latest single #Hai_Suka ft Churx has been a hit on download with the newly released video also getting rising views on youtube and reverbnation. Hai Suka has been playlisted on 12 radio stations receiving a lot of airplay and a great response from old and new fans throughout the country.
Based in East London, Number is a regular performer at events across the Eastern Cape. He is signed under his co-owned record label Eckaeni Entertainment where he is also a gifted producer. This multi-talented, goal-driven artist has grown to embrace his own individual sense of style and rhythm. Number is a star on the rise driven to shine the light on eMpumakoloni.
