She said, “[DJ] Tunez and I started the Amapiano thing when we did that first tape in 2019. Before COVID [19], Tunez and I started making that kind of sound. And then we kept going. Then South Africans.”

Efya said she hasn’t been able to achieve more because she is an independent artist, but once she gets signed by a record label, she will achieve greater things.
