“Every artist’s vision comes to life with crystal-clear precision and unmatched quality,”
Phakama Dwala is more than an album — it is a ministry in sound, offering moments of reflection, praise, and spiritual renewal.
She plans to follow up with new singles, collaborations with leading gospel voices, and live performances that will further establish her as a compelling force in Zimbabwean gospel music.
Nyathi’s musical journey began at the tender age of eight in the Baptist Church choir in Luveve, Bulawayo.
From performing at Mafakela Primary School assemblies to captivating audiences at Inyanda High School, music has always been both a calling and a form of worship.
