Journey
Ntombezinhle Precious Jiyane, famously known as DJ Zinhle, is a revolutionary South African artist and entrepreneur who has redefined the role of women in the African music industry. Born in KwaZulu-Natal and educated at the University of Johannesburg, she began her career in 2004 as the resident DJ for the dance show Jika Majika. Over two decades, she has evolved into a multi-award-winning producer, known for her ability to blend soulful Afro-house beats with infectious commercial appeal. Her 2011 hit "My Name Is" featuring Busiswa served as her national introduction, while the 2019 sensation "Umlilo" became a cultural phenomenon, racking up millions of streams and multiple platinum certifications.
Zinhle’s impact, however, extends far beyond the dance floor. She has successfully cultivated a "Boss Mom" persona, balancing a prolific music career with a diverse business portfolio. As the founder of Era by DJ Zinhle, she turned a boutique timepiece brand into a major fashion accessory house, and as the CEO of Boulevard Rosé, she has broken new ground for women in the beverage industry. Her personal life, including her marriage to Murdah Bongz and her role as a mother to Kairo and Asante, is shared transparently through her reality show, The Unexpected. By 2026, her legacy is firmly established as a trailblazer who transitioned from an aspiring presenter to an international mogul, consistently earning the title of Africa’s top female DJ
