NETHI: The Fearless Voice of Funky Pop
Some artists follow the rules. Others rewrite them.
For her, music was never just a hobby - it was home. At the age of ten, she stepped onto the stage for the first time, singing "Rolling in the Deep", and she knew: This was it! This was who she was. Maybe it was fate - after all, her father was a musician, and her vocal coach was none other than David Lee Brewer (yes, Beyoncé's former vocal coach). Music wasn't just a passion. It was in her blood.
Her sound? An explosive blend of Funky Pop and urban Soul, carrying the attitude of Doja Cat, the depth of Billie Eilish, the fearlessness of Beyoncé, and the raw energy of RAYE. But she's no copy. She's a force of her own.
Her debut song, "I Decide", is more than just music. It's a statement. A reminder - to herself and to the world - that she alone decides. That kindness is not weakness. That no one but her defines who she is. "I'm not someone who is mean or malicious," she says. "But I'm also not inclined to show weakness. And if someone wrongs me, I'll speak up - in my own way. By simply saying: I decide."
She writes her songs together with Khyenci, a songwriter and close friend from L.A. Every song starts with a feeling - an impulse, a moment, a truth that needs to be sung.
But her story is about more than just music. It's a story of resilience. At 17, she lost her mother. The pain was there, but so was her decision: to honor her mother with love, to grow stronger, and to never let loss hold her back. She speaks openly about it because she knows many others go through similar experiences. And she wants to show them: You can be strong without shutting down. You can heal without forgetting. And you can turn pain into power.
Yet, NETHI has many more sides. For 13 years, she was a passionate equestrian, even earning the silver riding badge. During that time, she learned discipline and courage - values that still guide her today. And while her confidence isn't loud or intrusive, it is deeply rooted - unwavering. Unstoppable.
With her debut album in the works, she's not just making music - she's building a movement. A movement of self-determination, connection, and pure, unfiltered self-expression. Her dream? To stand on massive stages - not just to be heard, but to deeply move people. And when that moment comes, one thing will be certain:
She has decided.
