Catch the queen

Lady Zamar will perform at the Theatre of Marcellus tomorrow.

There’s a reason why Lady Zamar is the new queen of SA music. She recently walked away with the title of Female Artist of the Year and Newcomer of the Year at the SA Music Awards, has teamed up with some of the biggest names in the industry, has numerous chart-topping singles to her name and her 2017 debut album, King Zamar, reached gold status earlier this year.

Continuing on her musical journey, Lady Zamar is making sure that she keeps giving her fans the royal treatment.

She’ll be performing for the first time at Theatre of Marcellus at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg on Saturday. Tickets are R200 and available from Computicket.

The sensuous voice behind the hits My Baby, Collide and Love Is Blind, will be accompanied by a full band in a two-hour showcase.

She’s also invited along the fresh, up-and-coming talents, Rhea Blek and Sivuyile, as support acts.

Born in Tembisa and raised in Pretoria West, Lady Zamar (Yami Janet Banda) started singing at the tender age of six.

She found herself involved with emerging and aspiring hip hop artists of the time and considered herself a mini-rapper.

She shot to fame when she teamed up with Junior Taurus on their singles Mamelodi and Cotton Candy.

This soulful songstress with a unique voice has become a household name and her music is heard on radio stations across SA.

She has collaborated with the likes of Prince Kaybee, Mshega, DJ Fortee, Tira and recently, with Vetkuk vs Mahoota and Dominic Neill. – Citizen reporter
