Bio: I am Sizwe Lethabo Ngwenya but I’m also known as CHVNKY XVIV (Pronounced “Chunky 19”). I’m an artist, I do hip hop music, mainly the sub-genre called ‘trap’. Started doing music in early 2017 & was part of a group called ‘TOH.T GANG’ which later disbanded. I have been solo since September 2017 which is also when I released my first project, XVIV EP. My music is what makes me stand out, considering the place I live in & what type of music the hood is succumbed to, I clearly make different music.

2018 is the year where I was recognized in the hood I live in, Mamelodi. Started the year by dropping 3 tracks on my late fathers birthday, 16 February, namely Woah, Trouble In Paradise & I Luh Dis. Woah caught attention of an American producer called ‘Ray Band’ who then approached me & requested a feature. We then released a song called ‘Be Careful What You Wish For’ on the 20th of April on Soundcloud, Mamelodi Music Gallery & Slikouronlife. The collaboration is the one that got me a little hype around the hood.

On the 5th of July 2018, I dropped a 3 track EP called Changes on the Soundcloud & Soundcloud, which has 177 downloads on MMG (last time I checked) & 200+ streams on Soundcloud. This EP got attention from all over Pta which got praised by people from Mamelodi, Atteridgeville & Soshanguve respectively. Dropped music after the EP, in which the tracks were Changed, 777 & No Frauds. Also got features from Scooby Jay & Xolisoul (From Music Fellas)

777 & No Frauds are my most hyped tracks yet, which got attention from event hosters from Soshanguve, Mamelodi, Pheli & Mpumalanga. On the 6th of October I was booked at Drumrock Lifestyle where Dinho & Djy Jaivane were headliners. Also performed beside Sjavas Da Deejay, Kota Embassy, Sir Heavy Deep & Team Percussion.

I’ve been working on a tape (title still to be released) for the past 3 months which is due to be released in mid 2019. Got merch dropping in 2019 with a major clothing brand in Gauteng, booked for a festival at Giant Stadium, Soshanguve on the 16th of February 2019 so look out for that too. Milestones I achieved in 2017: - - - - - LOVE N LIGHT.
