Ami Faku thanked Apple Music for the phenomenal support since the release of her first single, Ndikhethe Wena.
It’s such an honour to be profiled as the Apple Music New Artist Spotlight for October to coincide with the release of my debut album, IMALI,” says Ami Faku.
The prestigious feature will see Eastern Cape’s South African musician with a notable voice get the prime placement of editorial support across Apple Music’s ecosystem as a “Hero artist” with inclusion on key charts and music playlists.
“Thank you Apple Music for selecting me as the New Artist Spotlight for October. No words can express how thankful I am. This is one of my highlights for 2019,” Ami Faku wrote on her Instagram page.
