About Toshi
One of South Africa’s most treasured musical voices, Toshi is a soulful, versatile artist whose work spans Afro-Soul, Afro-House, Neo-Gospel and contemporary African Electronica. Her journey began in church choirs and community stages, developing the vocal power and spiritual depth that define her work today.
2025 marks twelve years since Toshi captured global attention alongside Black Coffee on the landmark anthem Buya — one of the most iconic records in South African dance music history. Now signed to DanceAfrika, Beyond Toshi marks the most ambitious chapter of her career — and the most fitting way to honour twelve years of that journey.
