Anathi Bhongo Mnyango / 23 / Artist
When did you decide to bring the brand Anatii into the industry?
In 2010.
How has your journey in the music industry been so far?
I have been blessed with my journey so far, and I am proof that talent and hard work are a winning combination.
2016 has been an awesome year for you, already got plans for 2017?
Yes, without giving away too much, fans can expect more music both from me as an artist and as a producer, ARTIIFACT tour and some special surprises along the way.
You managed to bring US star Omarion on a South African Tour with you, how did that come about?
I was having dinner with him while in Los Angeles after our session, and I jokingly said “Why don’t you come out for the launch of my album?” He was like “Let’s do it!” The rest is history.
Any more future Anatii and Omarion collaborations to look forward to?
Nothing definitive yet, but Omarion and I have an open working relationship.
Your ARTIIFACT album has received so much love, is this how you expected things to turn out?
I never expect any of my work to be a “hit” right out the gate; I just do my best and ensure that the work is true to my vision and ability.
What gets you up and grinding every morning?
Life, there’s so much to be grateful for and so much I want to accomplish. So I know I have to push hard every day to get closer to achieving the goals I have for myself.
Your current favourite South African Hip-Hop song?
Besides myself, ‘Lifestyle’ ft. Gemini Major by Da L.E.S.
Who is the real Anatii?
What you see is what you get. I’m a spiritually conscious individual, who is always looking to better himself and those around me.
