MÖRDA Announced As Apple Music’s Next Isgubhu Cover Star

Apple Music has announced dance music DJ and producer MÖRDA as the next Isgubhu cover star.

“Being on the cover of a playlist like Isgubhu is a sign to me that I must be doing something right!” he tells Apple Music. “Like with any award or nod from the industry, it confirms that hard work, the hours I spend in the studio making sure I get the sound just right, is all worth it.”

As a born-and-bred Pretorian, MÖRDA joined the church choir at a young age, where he also learnt how to play various musical instruments, later honing his talents as a music composer, dancer and vocalist. Gaining recognition as a member of drum-powered house duo, Black Motion, once the duo decided to go their separate ways, MÖRDA embraced the direction of a solo career.

After a string of international performances in and around Greece, Belgium, Spain, USA, London and France, MÖRDA released his debut solo album Asante (2022), dedicated to his daughter and featuring Focalistic, Nkosazana Daughter, Oscar Mbo, Yallunder, Vancoover and more over ten groove-filled tracks.

His second album, Asante II (2023), available to stream on Apple Music, is a vibrant blend of eclectic sounds that conjures a sonic aesthetic unique to his vision, and features DJ Zinhle, Brenden Praise, Trancemicsoul, Mhaw Keys and Thakzin.

To celebrate his feature, MÖRDA has also created an exclusive Isgubhu playlist that features only the best dance music from Mzansi’s premiere creatives. 

“My song selection is a collection of sounds, songs and artists that both sparked my love for music as a listener, as well as inspire my own ideas as a creator,” MÖRDA says.
