Watch! Pabi Cooper Highlights Her Journey And Milestones. Pabi Cooper is a South African musician, singer-songwriter, and performer known for her soulful and dynamic sound. She began performing at a young age and eventually pursued music full-time.
She initially entered the music industry as a dancer and hype girl on Major League DJz’ Amapiano Balcony Mix. She rose to fame in 2021 with her hit single “Sphithiphithi,” which reached over 6 million views in less than six months, on her self-titled YouTube channel.

She took to social media to highlight her journey and milestones from working with industry titans and becoming brand ambassador to some of the biggest brands in the country. “It all started as a dream. I wanted to pursue my passion for football and ended up becoming a performer! Fast forward a few years and I am living that dream, still constantly working on my first love for football but I have also traveled the world, I became brand ambassador for one of my favourite brands @shieldza, I pulled off Cooper FC Shutdown, was nominated for a prestigious international award for my music and performed on global stages. And watching @banyana.banyana fight to make it to the knockout stage inspired me so much! Just like our national team, I am #NotDoneYet and this is only the beginning! Banyana ke Bafana!,” she wrote.
