Singer and songwriter Inga Hina (30) is a singing sensation. She is set to release her 10-track album on 3 September 2021 titled Promises To Makhulu.

“Makhulu means grandmother, the album sums up promises I grew up making to mine. Making my grandmother proud has always been at the forefront of my music dream, just days after finishing the album, the title pretty much fell on my lap,” Inga says. Her music is a fusion of several different sounds.

“The sound is Afro-soul, pop and old school R&B. But I also have a feeling it will keep changing but at the core of it, it’s soulful and nostalgic."

This Women’s month Inga celebrates her late grandmother who raised her. “She’s a symbol of a strong black woman who [single-handedly] held her entire family together, her children, grandchildren, and our cousins,” Inga says.

“I didn’t realise just how financially challenged we were, until much later in life. She made the most out of nothing, it felt like we had it all.

"The last project she released was her single Big Bad City in October 2019," she says.

"My music has evolved since then. I have learned to trust what I have to say a little more now. I realise I have a story to tell and there’s someone out there who’s just like me, I’m no longer trying to figure out what I think people would like to hear,” Inga says.
