According to TshisaLIVE, the programme presented by Spotify aims to shine a light on the voices of African female artists. It also seeks to break down barriers and make waves in music while exposing the artists’ catalogue to global listenership.
Sharing the big news, Khanyisa captioned her post, “Momma!!! I’m on a billboard IN NEW YORK! ??.”

Speaking to BONA about her achievement, Khanyisa exclaimed, “Listen, it was a moment of disbelief… Imagine how proud my father felt. I just kept on thinking about my dad… It was a really proud moment. I can’t put into words how I felt. I’m speechless.”
Khanyisa also shared that her grandmother had recently passed, but she feels that her grandmother provided her with the achievement. “She was like ‘Boom – here’s a little something.”
Adding that she never “feels deserving” when receiving such achievements, Khanyisa stated, “I always feel so humbled and I’m like, ‘Yoh God, what is this?’ I always cry, I’m always in tears… This is just God pulling up and it’s His grace in my life.”
