Hailing from the Kingdom of eSwatini, Hlob’sile Mkhwanazi is a multifaceted artist with a remarkable background in both academia and music. She holds a BA, Honours, and Masters Degrees from Wits University, complemented by a Management Advance Programme and Senior Leadership Development qualifications from Wits Business School, as well as a certificate in Coaching from UCT. Hlob’sile is also a published author, with her Honours research featured in an academic journal and her Masters research published as a book.
A registered Industrial/Organizational Psychologist, Hlob’sile currently works in one of South Africa’s largest coal mines. Her professional journey extends beyond psychology, as she is also a mother of two teens, a public speaker, an executive coach, and a devoted worship leader.
Music has always been a central part of Hlob’sile’s life. She began singing in high school and at her church (Assemblies of God – Mbabane) in eSwatini. Songwriting became a passion she embraced from a young age, though she only began to take it seriously after encouragement from a music executive who recognized her talent.
Currently serving as an elder and worship minister at Let’s Go To Glory Worship Centre in South Africa, Hlob’sile continues to channel her love for music into her ministry. She made her debut as a recording artist in 2023 with her first single “Mananjalo,” followed by “Babe Siyabonga,” released in September 2024. Both songs reflect her desire to glorify God and help listeners connect with Him through worship.
As an independent artist, Hlob’sile is the executive producer of her projects, working closely with producer Tiyiso Tchopz Baloyi. Her self-funded projects demonstrate her dedication to delivering music that uplifts, inspires, and brings people closer to God.
