Personal life
Mtambo was born in Umlazi, outside Durban, where she was schooled, later attending the then University of Durban-Westville to study for a BCom in accounting. She came to Johannesburg to finish her studies and, from there, she joined Joyous Celebration
Professional life
She forged a solid career in soul music. After nine years of humble beginnings as a gospel singer, she has grown in stature and fame, and now has a new body of work, which is scheduled for release this year, that is totally different from her previous efforts.
With the new album, the songstress aims to continue expressing her real self, relating to people genuinely and continuously perpetuating the message of her music: love, equality and justice.
According to her statement during an interview section,
“My music always has a theme, and I have so much I want to talk about but I don’t want to spoil it by announcing it this early.
What I put out there for fans to consume is guided by where I am mentally, spiritually, and even musically”.
“I never moved from gospel to jazz”.
Also she stated “I was in the biggest amazing gospel group when I started.
When I left the group, I become an individual and pursued my dreams.
My dream was always to occupy circular space, I wanted to sing music and entertain, and I knew when I joined the group, that I wasn’t going to sing gospel music forever.
I went straight to what I initially wanted to do".
