BIO

Nomzi Kumalo is a singer, songwriter, poet and painter who found salvation in seeking her truth. Nomzi’s music is a cinematic tale that migrates from her South African childhood, through France, and beyond the frozen wilds of Scandinavia. Her journey from painter to writer to songwriter and singer is part of a natural progression that has defined and enhanced her storytelling in immeasurable ways.

Nomzi embodies vintage class and unveiled emotion in her music. When you envisage Billie Holiday, Nina Simone or Edith Piaf adorning the stage, undoubtedly Nomzi Kumalo is enveloped by their spirits and her vocal dynamics reverberate with the same emotional resonance. Her vocal characteristics draw from the past with beguiling intimacy. In a time when everything feels like it moves so fast, the slower delivery, rhythm and harmonies have an immediate calming and soul-stirring effect on her audiences.

This is one of those moments one hopes to experience on The Voice, where someone just does their own thing and makes time stand still. Everyone forgets that they are on The Voice. It was magical – Espen Lind – The Voice judge and artist
 
God, love this track THE TRUTH – Dikayl Rimmasch, VMA/MTV Best Director, Peabody, Cinema Eye Honors
 

WOW! The Truth is so honest and heartfelt. A GREAT GREAT vocal performance – Brian Vibberts, 6x Grammy Award winner, audio engineer and producer.
