Skye Wanda has signed with Mayonie Productions, the entertainment company founded by Grammy Award-winning artist and producer Zakes Bantwini.
The deal will see Mayonie Productions support the South African singer and songwriter’s future music releases, live performances, brand partnerships, collaborations, and international expansion. The signing follows Wanda’s appearance on Bantwini’s album Echoes of Botanical Gardens, where she featured on the single “Focus”, and the two say that project deepened their professional relationship.
“I’m incredibly excited to be joining the Mayonie Productions family. This feels like the natural next step in my journey,” Wanda said. “I’ve always believed in creating music that is honest, soulful and timeless and I’m grateful to be working with a team that truly understands my vision. I’m looking forward to creating incredible music, growing as an artist and sharing this new chapter with my supporters.”
Bantwini said the signing reflects the company’s focus on developing African artists with long-term potential. “Skye Wanda is one of the most gifted and unique artists of her generation. Her voice, creativity and authenticity are extraordinary, and we’ve already experienced what we’re capable of creating together through Echoes of Botanical Gardens,” he said. “Bringing her into the Mayonie Productions family is something I’m incredibly proud of. We believe in building careers with purpose, creating music that stands the test of time and taking African talent to the world. Skye embodies everything we stand for and we’re excited for what the future holds.”
Wanda has built a reputation for a sound that blends soul with genre-crossing musical styles. Mayonie Productions said it will work to expand her presence in South Africa and international markets as it continues to grow its roster of African talent.
