In Conversation with Born Kxng

Loading player...

Durban-born Sihle Zibane, better known as Born Kxng,
isn’t just making hits, he’s reshaping what South African
sound can feel like. A genre-bender who fuses
Amapiano, 3-Step, and spiritual African soundscapes,
Born Kxng balances the role of multi-platinum producer
and bold, vulnerable vocalist. From working with giants
like Nomcebo Zikode and Sho Madjozi, to featuring in
major brand campaigns and pushing his music
internationally through AfroFuture’s Rising Star
platform, his career is proof that art can be both deeply
personal and widely global.
