One thing you’ve got to know about Toya Delazy (born Latoya Nontokozo Buthelezi) is that she does things on her own terms, whether that’s in music or in life. A singer, rapper, pianist, dancer and producer she’s as multi-hyphenate as they come, and a natural innovator to boot. Breaking sonic barriers as the creator of AfroRave, a genre bringing together Zulu verses with drum and bass, the London-based musician is celebrating the lyricism of her native tongue— a tonal language which features click consonants — and delivering high-energy dance-floor fillers.
