Something to share

I’m Nonto, an alternative independent R&B and neo-soul artist from South Africa, creating music on my own terms, no label, no machine, just intention. Every track I release is written, curated, and self-funded from start to finish. I’m not chasing trends. I’m here to build a sound that reflects the way I experience the world, layered, imperfect, direct, and honest. 

My music speaks to what we often avoid saying out loud, the tension in relationships, the unspoken questions, the push and pull between connection and independence. Whether it’s Akekho, Find me love, Issues, Looking Ahead, or Colourful, each project is a snapshot of where I was emotionally and mentally at the time, nothing packaged, just real moments with real weight. 

I’m influenced by soulful textures, clean vocals, and production that gives space for the message to land. I don’t make music to escape life. I make it to process it, and to give people something they can feel, but also think about. This is for anyone building something from the ground up, doing it with intention, and making sure it sounds like them.
