Zambian-born, Botswana-raised, Johannesburg-based Moonga K. encompasses a myriad of sounds including R&B, soul, electronic and alternative in his music. Raised in a musical family—his father pursued reggae part-time and his mother loved gospel—Moonga was inspired at 14 to develop his songwriting further after hearing Frank Ocean's “American Wedding”. He subsequently birthed his own take on alternative soul with childhood friend and frequent collaborator Andrew Williams, taking an introspective deep dive into topics such as love in all its forms, depression, anxiety and social-justice issues. Moonga’s soulful, honeyed tone finds a home in the intimate spaces of his 2017 six-track EP Free and debut album Wild Solace, showcasing his versatility wonderfully as a singer and songwriter.
