Edit history

Ms. Thandi is a Sydney-based alt-R&B artist with roots in southern Africa. Her sound moves between diasporic tradition and contemporary R&B, weaving reggae warmth, Afro-influenced textures and emotionally precise songwriting into something that feels both grounded and expansive. Her debut EP Soft Like Fire, out the 3rd of April 2026, is a meditation on femininity in all its contradictions: tender and consuming, a gentle boundary and a war cry. With music featured across two seasons of Netflix's Heartbreak High and over 1.1 million streams, Ms. Thandi brings the same raw honesty to the stage, a presence that commands attention without ever asking for it.
