Nanette

Nanette Mbili, better known as Nanette, hails from Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal.

Around the age of 16 years old, after participating in a school drama production, Nanette was encouraged to consider singing professionally. The same year, she concluded that becoming a musician was her path and in order to do this, she wanted to go to Johannesburg after matriculating. While waiting to matriculate, Nanette remained an active theater kid but also began releasing demos online.

Fresh out of high school, in 2020 Nanette took to cultivating a career in music as a Bachelor of Arts student. Since the release of her debut album “Bad Weather” she has debuted at no.10 in the continent on the Apple charts. Under the executive production of Lindelani Lee, (aka Lee Global) and creative assistance from SeezyRay, Nanette released a project that continues to influence the South African R&B scene.

Nanette has since branched into other genres like AmaPiano with industry heavy hitters like Kelvin Momo, where she featured on two focus tracks (Fool Me & Imfula) on the latest Kelvin Momo album: AMUKELANI — an album that has since been co-signed by Drake.
