Kwandokuhle Siwela, a.k.a “Ozxy Said It” is a Cape Town-based rapper, songwriter, host, activist, poet and fashion designer. He started making music at the age of 11 when his rapper uncle inspired him to write his first verse – something he would continue throughout his schooling years.
Ozxy’s passion for music grew even while studying towards his BA Corporate Communications Degree, so he decided to take a break from academics to pursue his music career instead. His love for poetry opened his eyes to new possibilities, which is when he decided not to limit himself to one genre – he ventured into rock music, dancehall, boombap, amapiano, jazz, latin and afropop.
To date, Ozxy has worked with the likes of B Note, Debra-nist, Simulationrxps and award-winning Jojo Gabon.
Earlier this year, Ozxy released a brand new single titled “BUST IT”. “This project features R&B and Soul singer from Johannesburg, South Africa, D.O.XRSA, and is produced by Award Winning Producer B.Note,” he tells The Fuse.
“The song takes an explorative approach towards Hip-hop in its creative process incorporating bespoke recordings of elements of various African sounds, layered with elements of Jazz, Lo-Fi and D.O.XRSA’s soulful vocals. The music video shows visuals of me taking a walk on the streets in a soliloquy to my girl and later on addressing topics about my life and family,” he continues explaining.
BUST IT is available on all music streaming platforms
