Yoav and Jabulile Majola's serendipitous musical collaboration defies expectations, bridging worlds and uniting their shared journey of discovery, vulnerability, and healing.

Yoav, widely known for his Indie Folk sound, was raised in a home versed in Classical music and Opera. Rebelling against his formal musical upbringing, Yoav picked up the guitar in secret, developing a unique style of electronica-esque writing that has captured audiences worldwide. Jabulile, on the other hand, is fresh to the scene. Raised in a Children’s Home by a Christian couple in Greytown, Kwazulu Natal, he discovered a passion for music, utilising it to share stories via the Church.

Their paths crossed through a mutual friend, leading them to embark on a writing session. Within a day, the duo had recorded the initial idea for “Stranger” and after the positive responses they received from friends, they agreed to keep collaborating until eventually the album UNYAZI emerged.

"Unyazi," named after the fleeting light that ignites the sky after a lightning strike considers the fragility and temporary nature of life. Both artists suffered the loss of loved ones during the recording process. As a result, the album became a conduit through which they processed their grief. The project offers listeners a glimpse into their journey of healing and resilience.

"Throughout the process of writing this record, it felt like we were going through a collective grief. Our intention was to create something healing and nourishing, and in the process, we experienced healing ourselves.” - Yoav
