Profession
Talented singer Ami Faku’s music career gained a lot of attention after she participated as a contestant on The Voice South Africa in 2017. Amandi changed her name to Ami after she quit the music competition, dropping the middle “and” and replacing the “a” with an “i”.
Although she did not win the competition, it provided her with an opportunity to showcase her talent. She signed with Vth Season Records.
She then released her first single “Ndikhethe Wena” which became a huge success and led her to collaborate with De Mogul SA. In the song “Ungowam”, she collaborated with Afro House DJ and producer.
The celebrity’s career is booming and she even collaborated with Sanele Sithole, also known as Sun-El Musician, on the song “Into Ingawe.” One of her songs, “Uwrong,” was certified gold by the Recording Industry of South Africa (RISA).
As her singing talent continued to improve, Ami Faku continued to perform in church, and in 2012, at the age of 19, she began recording music. It was convenient for her because her producer lived not far from her home.
She was rejected twice in the pre-qualifications of South African Idol before being allowed to compete in The Voice. Her family was very supportive of her decision to audition for The Voice.
She was not discouraged by being eliminated in the previous competition and eventually made it into the top sixteen of the competition.
After giving up the competition, Ami Faku signed a record deal with Vth Season. She released the hit song “Imali” on her own record label, which made a splash in the South African music industry.
Since then, Ami Faku has been making waves in the South African music scene with hits like “Ubuhle”, “Love Drunk”, “Into Ingawe” and “Ndikhethe Wena”.
“Ubuhle Bakho” which she released in March 2019 is another song that listeners and music lovers keep playing on repeat. Not only has she released songs that have wowed many of her Mzansi fans, she has also collaborated with many well-known musicians.
The up-and-coming artist has also done a great job in preserving African music and languages. She hopes to collaborate with other foreign musicians in the future. Ami Faku is making a name for herself in the industry and shows no signs of slowing down.
