Katy X
Vanessa Dipuo Nkosi (Born August 3, 1998), professionally known as Katy X (also known as X or Katy) is a South African Rapper and Songwriter from Pretoria, South Africa. Katy is well-known for working with Hit Producer Johnny Waller and also working with Macphly, Slick & Leo Soul, among others.

Early Life

Vanessa Dipuo Nkosi was born in August 3rd 1998. She was born in Nellmapius, Gauteng eastside of Pretoria, South Africa. Katy grew up in Nellmapius, a Township next to Mamelodi where she grew up with her siblings. Her mother works as a Recruitment Agent for a private sector company that works with government & private tenders in South Africa.

Katy attended Primary School at Nellmapius Primary School in the year 2005 and moved to Nellmapius Secondary School in the year 2012 and that’s where she was introduced to the Hip-Hop Culture. Katy started rapping in the ninth grade, she was 15 by that time. She was part of a crew called MGS (also known as Mental Gear Solid) where she worked with Kholeka, Doski and Cavin, her crew members. She was inspired by Doski because of his ability to rap. After the fall of MGS (also known as Mental Gear Solid), Katy and Kholeka started their own crew called DK (also known as Dipuo Le Kholeka) where they worked together as a crew, unfortunately, their works were never recorded.

In the fall of 2013, DK (also known as Dipuo Le Kholeka) was approached by Treasure T of Random Chaos, where they worked with Treasure T, Sexy Eyes, Ronell & Ashley. In the fall of 2014 they stopped working with Random Chaos due to unsorted differences which also lead to the Fall of DK.

Early 2014, Katy met Johnny Waller (also known as John Shongwe) through her friend Lesego as she was passing through the hood and didn’t know anything about him. As time went on, Katy learned who Johnny Waller was and she contacted him. Katy is still in High-School and is set to finish her High-School in 2016 and has planned to enrol on a course that will benefit her life and decisions.

Career 2013 – Present: Career Beginnings, Record Label & Collaborations

As Katy started to work on her music, she met Alcolm also known as BeatGenius of Dibosso Musik Fam at a local gym. Katy and Kholeka then approached him regarding music, he only encouraged them to work harder on their lyrical content as he felt that they are weak. They went on to do so.

Later that Year, they met Phoenix Flamee of Element X through Alcolm at a Hip-Hop Session. Phoenix wanted to hear more of Vanessa, so they started communicating through Facebook. She asked Phoenix to join Element X but he never responded. She then met the rest of the crew and among those is producer 10mp Beats. She was inspired by a Female Rapper called Stanza of Element X. She still kept contact with Element X. Early 2014 she met Johnny Waller (also known as John Shongwe), she first contacted him on Facebook and Johnny did not take her serious as he found her to be annoying and a stalker. As time went on, Waller decided to give her a chance and he was impressed by what he heard. He then signed her to his Label Called Waller Productions/#AlmightyGOD Goodness.

As soon as Waller signed her, she also signed with MoNATE Kontrol Entertainment courtesy of Waller Productions/#AlmightyGOD Goodness for Promotion & Marketing. Through that deal Katy met a multi-genre vocalist called Macphly of MoNATE Kontrol Entertainment who is Johnny Waller’s old time friend, business partner & label mate. They worked on a song produced by Johnny Waller called Poison Ambition. She also worked with producer Leo Soul (also known as Lekau Carl Majekane) who has collaborated with Johnny Waller for her project. Katy went on to work with BeatGenius for her first official single at Waller Productions/#AlmightyGOD Goodness which had a successful number of Downloads on various number of websites and is available for purchase on The CD Baby Music Store and Bandcamp. Katy was featured on Johnny Waller’s Ma Zoo hit track which had guest vocals from Pitman Venom, Temido Da Preacher, BIG O & Scraggy Twicce. Katy went on to record her next single which has no released date titled Grindin’ which features Johnny Waller on The Hook and its produced by Johnny Waller. Katy went on to work with Record Producer Sub-Zero of Back-Yard Began Entertainment where she met Verb, Homeboy Heath & Blazer and kept contact with them.

Katy X is set to release her first official project sometime 2016-2017 as she is busy with her High-School grades and has been given enough time to complete her schooling before she can work on an album. Johnny Waller managed to bring the best out of her, she is now opening shows for Macphly with her label mate Slick who is also signed to Waller Productions/#AlmightyGOD Goodness and has a project with Katy coming soon.
