Suthukazi, born in Cala, Transkei, Eastern Cape, was from an early age immersed in music. She studied ballet and modern jazz in Cape Town before moving to Johannesburg to pursue a music career. Although Suthukazi stands before us today as one of Africa's leading voices, she is also an accomplished actress having performed in many South African productions — skills that were honed by mentor with Gibson Kente. Her album The Journey is a slight diversion for this amazing talent.
