Who is Mawelele?

Mawelele, whose full name is Ntokozo Wandile Mawelele, is a rising South African singer-songwriter. He was born in Johannesburg and raised in Vaal, where he began his musical journey at age 11, encouraged by his father. He was discovered on social media in 2020 and signed by Blaq Diamond to Umuthi Records. His debut single, "All My Life" with Kwesta, marked his entry into the music industry and has garnered significant attention.

Mawelele's passion for music was sparked by his father, who encouraged him to pursue music over football. He attended a performing arts school but ultimately dropped out due to the theoretical aspects not aligning with his practical interests, according to YouTube.

He gained recognition on social media, where he was later approached by Blaq Diamond and signed to Umuthi Records.

In February 2025, Mawelele collaborated with Naledi Aphiwe on the love song "Romeo & Juliet", which quickly gained popularity with over a million views on YouTube within ten days, according to IOL.
