WHO IS

FleeQy?

FleeQy is a hip-hop artist who has been passionate about music since a very young age. Phindile Dlamini was Born in Durban. At the age of five months, her parents moved to Cape Town and settled in Ocean View.

Seven years later they moved to Simon's Town in the Western Cape for their permanent residency. Phindile found it hard settling into her new neighborhood because Simon’s Town is different from Ocean View, resulting in her not having many friends.

The 8-year-old turned to books and fell in love with reading, leading her to discover her current favorite author, Jodi Picoult.

The rapper started writing music at the age of 14 when she decided that she wanted to become a musician one day. Her love for rap started when she discovered the late American rapper Christopher Wallace – aka Notorious BIG's music, She then relished the poetry she found at the heart of rap.

Phindile officially branded herself as "FleeQy".

"My name comes from the popular term 'on fleek' because to me, my rhymes and beats are always on fleek," says FleeQy.

How It All Started

In 2016 I worked on a song for the very first time with a friend of mine, I was so thrilled with the positive response we received. Regardless of my fears then, we still received support from our school peers and friends.

I continued to collaborate further to discover the type of sound I was interested in until I decided to work on my first full project, titled “Poppingtin” The word ‘pop’ means to stand out and that’s exactly what my music does, it’s popping.

My first project Poppingtin sounded more like an era to me, a time for growth, learning, and finally making a breakthrough in terms of exposure.

The musical style that I create is “sassy with a dash of class”. I am a very unique artist and the music I make can be enjoyed by any age group because of my style and personality.
