Pre-Save Album""Beyond Toshi is everything I've been building towards. It's bigger than music — it's a statement of who I am and where African sound is going." — Toshi"
Toshi is one of South Africa's most treasured musical voices — a soulful, versatile artist whose work spans Afro-soul, Afro-house, neo-gospel and contemporary African electronica. Her music carries the weight of ancestry and the electricity of the present, weaving Zulu storytelling into modern sonic landscapes with an effortless grace that few artists in the world can match.
Born and raised in South Africa, Toshi's musical journey began in the church choirs and community stages of her youth, where she developed the vocal power, spiritual depth and emotional range that define her work today. Her voice — warm, urgent and deeply human — has an almost inexplicable ability to connect with listeners across cultural and linguistic divides.
The world first took notice when Toshi appeared alongside global DJ and producer Black Coffee on the landmark track Buya — a collaboration that became an international anthem for Afro-house music and introduced Toshi's gift to audiences across Europe, the Americas and beyond. In the decade since, she has continued to build one of the most authentic and respected catalogues in African music.
Beyond Toshi
Beyond Toshi is Toshi's most personal and most ambitious work to date. It is a 12-track journey through love, identity, resilience and spiritual growth — told through the lens of a woman who has spent a decade living her art with intention and grace. The album draws on the full spectrum of contemporary African sound, with each track bringing its own distinct texture while maintaining a coherent, deeply soulful thread throughout. The collaborations on Beyond Toshi read like a who's-who of South Africa's musical elite. Rather than simply featuring artists for commercial appeal, every collaboration on this record was chosen for artistic resonance — each voice and each producer bringing something that deepens the story Toshi is telling.
