In this soul-stirring episode of The Podcast Cafe Classifieds, Lwazi sits down with the multifaceted Zwonaka, a visionary artist embarking on an international journey from the heart of South Africa to the prestigious halls of Berklee. Zwonaka opens up about his quest to transcend the confines of genre and geography, delving into the rich tapestry of his music that defies the mainstream sounds of his homeland. With a passion for electronic production and a thirst for knowledge in music management, Zwonaka is sculpting a path that's uniquely his own.

We travel back to his high school days, exploring the profound impact of his diverse educational experiences on his artistic evolution. From the strict corridors of St. Stithians to the liberating halls of the British International College, Zwonaka's story is a testament to the power of self-expression and the pursuit of personal style. Homeschooling in 2020 becomes a crucible for his creative growth, where discipline and passion collide to forge a sound that's ready to grace the world stage.

Zwonaka also shares the intimate details of his latest release, "I Hate You, But I Could Never Hate You," a heartfelt narrative born from a real-life multiracial relationship. He reflects on the universal challenges and lessons learned from such unions, advocating for love that transcends cultural barriers.

As Zwonaka navigates the complexities of identity, masculinity, and artistic freedom, his insights on the global music scene—from the rise of Latin American beats to the magnetic pull of K-pop—are as enlightening as they are inspiring. Join us for this profound conversation that's more than just an interview—it's a journey into the heart of a young artist poised to redefine the soundscape of our time.

For the love of music, the art of storytelling, and the courage to dream beyond borders, tune in to this episode of The Podcast Cafe' Classifieds with Lwazi Ka Manqele and witness the emergence of Zwonaka, a true artist for the ages.
