The sonic pair, comprised of Prince Baloyi, 31 and Moeketsi Rathebe, 33, from Welkom in the Free State, has reached impressive heights with a reported 10-million streams on digital music platforms and 23-million views on YouTube.

Speaking to Sowetan, the duo opened up about how they met: “We met through our mutual friend Mpolokeng Maome. She and Moeketsi were classmates at the same high school,” Baloyi told Sowetan.

“Whenever I’d be with her, she’d always tell me I needed to meet her friend, Moeketsi. In 2009, Mpolokeng told Moeketsi there was someone she would like him to meet because she thought we had many similarities. We met shortly after and we’ve been friends since.”

While the group was founded over a decade ago, the duo is grateful to receive recognition as one of the trailblazers of amapiano. “We feel very proud knowing where we’ve come from, the time invested in our career over a decade trying to get this kind of recognition in the South African music industry, and it is so overwhelming because no artists from Free State have ever reached such a milestone independently,” Rathebe said.
