She says fame is short-lived but boy has Kamo Mphela already made a name for herself in the South African entertainment industry. This multi-talented 22-year old sings and dances her way into people's hearts and she's not about to stop. Her star has just started to rise.
Not much is known about Kamo Mphela’s early life besides the fact that dancing has been her passion from an early age. Being a member of YFM, Kamo Mphela’s father would take her to events where she would dance on stage. This is how she honed her love for on-stage live performances.
Kamo Mphela was born on November 29, 1999. She was raised in Soweto, South Africa and went to Kibler Park High School. For her university education, she enrolled for media studies course at the Boston Media House but because of her hectic schedule, she revealed in Podcast and Chill with MacG that she only did her first year. Kamo is keen though to go back and finish her studies.
It all began when the dancer caught the attention of fans in a video of her dancing on social media. Her dancing skills clearly caught the eye as her videos went viral on Instagram. She can dance to Amapiano and other genres including Gqom, Kwaito, and Pantsula. She was an extra on the show Isibaya before realizing that music was her golden ticket. True to that, she’s already earned the title Queen of Amapiano.
In 2019, the dynamic duo Major League DJz, composed of twins Banele & Bandile Mbere signed her and launched her EP, Twentee, on their label Major League Music (Kamo Mphela’s Punisher is one of the hits from this album). It's not surprising that fans will be looking forward to more Kamo Mphela songs.
The dancer has also featured in popular South African songs including Sandton, and Suka Emabozeni. The Kamo Mphela Sandton live AMP performance was quite something. The star also made ripples with a classic appearance on the MFR Souls hit Amanikiniki that features Major League Djz and Bontle Smith. Along with that, Kamo Mphela's Sukendleleni performance just like her appearance on Labantwana Ama Uber is another masterpiece. These dances have earned her the coveted title, Queen of Amapiano.
Apart from dancing and choreography, Kamo is also a good vocalist. Some popular Kamo Maphelo songs include Menemene, Mojolo and Suka Emabozeni. She's also collaborated and performed with local artists, including Nadia Nakai and Killer Kau.
Kamo has her whole life ahead of her. Nonetheless, the young dancer is already thinking about her future. She recently stated that apart from making dope Amapiano hits, she also wants to explore fashion designing and have her own clothing line and shoe store. This makes sense as the singer is always on fleek on her social media posts with her ever-changing but very stylish looks. With this though, many of her fans yearn for the day they’ll get to see Kamo Mphela without makeup. Because of it, she seems to have a different look all the time that her fans can't tell how she naturally looks. But should this really matter?
When Kamo Mphela took to social media to share a screenshot of her and Focalistic on a video call with collaborators at Major League DJz, fans jumped at the prospect that the two could be in a relationship. A romantic connection between the two was first hinted at by some mutual friends on their social media. The two are working on several projects together, so it’s no surprise they’re close. However, the two are yet to confirm or deny the rumours.
As for her parents, not much is known about them except that her father, Onitiaf Mphela, has been extremely influential in developing her career. He worked at a production radio station YFM. Through this, he introduced Kamo into the industry.
“He’d take me to work gigs and put me on stage to perform.” She said
Kamo Mphela's performance at the prestigious DSTV Mzansi Viewer's Choice Awards ( DSTV MVCA) 2020 didn't go as planned. Her pants ripped only a few seconds after making her appearance on stage. She had to swiftly rush backstage, leaving fans thoroughly disappointed.
However, Tweeps had a great time making fun of the incident on Twitter.
Recently, Kamo made a live appearance on our favourite show, Podcast and Chill with MacG. Did you know that the fathers of MacG and Kamo Mphela, worked together at YFM? During the interview, Kamo revealed some pretty juicy details about herself, including the fact that she failed a grade in high school, didn’t make a single cent for her work on the hit song Jobe and also revealed that she’s still a virgin. She made it clear that she wants to make the most of her fame while she’s still got it.
“Fame doesn't last that long, so you have to make the most of it while you still have time. That's what people don't understand. It's not a lifetime thing unless you are legendary." She added.
Kamo might be young but her taste in cars is just as impressive as anything she’s achieved. From her Instagram posts, we can spot a white Mercedes Benz amongst other flashy cars and bikes she’s taken a ride in.
Being the huge sensation that she is and with Major League DJs really pushing her brand, there’s no doubt that Kamo is making the big bucks. Her live performances and the release of her EP have boosted her net worth to around US$150,000. This is bound to go up with the release of her upcoming EP and performances.
Kamo Mphela has made a name for herself in South African entertainment, and although she thinks fame is short-lived, this is just the beginning for this multi-talented 21-year-old. She’s already set her place amongst Amapiano stars and will be riding the wave of this brand new, innovative, and ever-growing genre as it takes the world by storm.
Kamo Mphela is just getting started but she’s already made it to a couple of awards lists. This year, she’s a nominee in three events:
South African Music Awards in which she features in two categories - record of the year and music video of the year.
Mzansi Kwaito and House Music Awards is the other event she’s received nominations in for The Best Amapiano song, Best collaboration and Best Music Video.
