Liyana Ndiweni – meaning Sunshine after the Rain – born and raised in the kingdom of Eswatini. I am 29 years old and making Music for a living.
The love of music started for me in 2010 when I was a part of a girl’s group, Ezamaswazi, which I’m still a part of. We empowered each other and that’s where I found my passion. The support I received from the girls was massive and it motivated me to continue doing what I love. We started off singing a cappella and did very well. My confidence grew and so did my career in music. We performed at the MTN BushFire Festival as part of the Gifted Girls Dance Group: this was the first showcase I was involved with at the critically acclaimed art festival. We have shared stages with award winning artists including Freshly Ground, Oliver Mtukudzi, Kunle Ayo and Bholoja to name a few. My voice can be heard on the soundtrack of the award-winning documentary film “Liyana” which was executive produced by Thandi Newton. I have done many perfomances.
