Aymos Officially Drops ‘Izenzo’ With Bassie. Babili Amos Shili, popularly known by his stage name Aymos is a South African singer-songwriter. He is best known for the hit single “Emcimbini” which was produced by Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa.
Aymos released a new red hot single which have catapulted with lots of viewers and a talk of the town in SA titled Izenzo, featuring Bassie & Tmansa.
For Babili Amos Shili, who’s affectionately known as Aymos, it was a knock in the head.“Immediately after my breakthrough, we went into lockdown and we couldn’t gig, we couldn’t make money. I was really heartbroken; it was a traumatic moment in my life, and it took music to see me through that situation. After lockdown, it wasn’t like we were continuing where we left off, it was like we’re starting all over again. It didn’t matter what you did before, which was a sad thing,” he added.
.His journey in music started in church where he was a pianist and a worship leader. In the township of Tembisa where he grew up, this was the only place he could learn a musical instrument and that’s why he would go to church often.
After high school, he would have loved to go straight into music making but he felt like he would be cheating his parents if he didn’t study further, and so he did.“I felt like I would have cheated my parents if I didn’t study something that would kind of secure my future and so I did nursing sciences. After graduating, I then asked my parents if I could now go do what I like.”
