In a remarkable transition from the screens of Netflix’s acclaimed series “Blood and Water,” where we know her as Khosi Ngema the actor, she now steps onto a different stage as Kho’si, the music artist, with her debut single, “Why?” This evolution isn’t a departure from her acting career; it’s a return to her roots in music.

“I fell in love with music long before the lights of acting found me,” she confides. “It’s where I feel most at home, most myself. This moment feels like coming full circle, finding my sound, and sharing a more intimate part of myself with the world.”

Her musical journey is birthed with influences ranging from the iconic Michael Jackson and Beyoncé to the soul-stirring melodies of Tracy Chapman, nurtured by the guiding hand of her grandmother.

Describing her music as a fusion of softness and soulfulness, Kho’si delves into experimentation with genres, infusing elements of her diverse inspirations into her sound. Her debut single, “Why?”, is not just a song; it’s an exploration of self-discovery and reclaiming personal power in the face of emotional turmoil.

“This song is about choosing yourself, about recognizing your worth in every relationship,” She explains. “It’s about the push and pull of emotions, the unanswered questions that linger. But ultimately, it’s a reminder that you are enough, that your journey back to self is paramount.”

While “Why?” embodies themes of heartache and sensuality, it also serves as a tantalizing glimpse into the musical odyssey Kho’si is embarking upon. “Music is a spiritual journey for me,” she shares. “There’s a reservoir of melodies and stories within me waiting to be shared with the world.”

As she navigates this transformative journey, Kho’si confronts her reservations and insecurities, finding solace and empowerment in the act of creation. “Music is teaching me to trust my voice, to believe in its resonance,” she reveals. “It’s a journey of unlearning, of shedding inhibitions, and embracing the power of expression.”

Hailing from a family entrenched in the arts, Kho’si envisions a future where her newfound passion blossoms into a thriving legacy. She affirms. “We have a record label and it’s a dream we’re nurturing, one that I hope grows alongside my musical evolution.”

In a South African musical landscape dominated by the infectious rhythms of amapiano, her single ventures into uncharted territories, blending elements of the genre with her signature sound. “It’s music meant to be felt,” she asserts. “Whether you’re driving with friends or dancing in your living room, it’s about creating a space to lose yourself in the rhythm, to find liberation in movement.”

As Kho’si unveils her debut single to the world, she invites us to embark on this musical odyssey with her—to embrace the vulnerability, joy, and raw authenticity of her sound. With the release of “Why?” it’s clear that her voice—soft yet resonant, soulful yet empowering—is destined to leave an indelible imprint on the hearts of listeners worldwide.
