About Artist

Sibusiso Nxumalo, stage name J Sbu is a professional DJ, MC, Voice Over artist, and radio presenter at one of KZN’s biggest commercial radio stations, East Coast Radio.

Abazali is an ode to true love. Love is not about belonging to someone, it’s about belonging together. The song celebrates the purity and simplicity of love that is given wholeheartedly. The chorus, “kuthi angitshele abazali ukuthi ungiphethe kahle”  loosely means, it’s time I told my parents you are the keeper of my heart.

After doing the Early breakfast show for 3 years and East Coast Party Central for about a year concurrently, J Sbu is now 1 half of the flagship afternoon “Drive show” on East Coast Radio. His contribution to the radio industry and immense growth was recognised when J Sbu was inducted as a bright star at the annual Radio Awards 2021.

KZN born, J Sbu is all about sharing a positive and relatable outlook on life. This multifaceted gentleman wears many hats from being named Gateway Brand Ambassador in 2018 to launching his debut single; Uthandolwakho in 2019, J Sbu has since released 5 singles namely; Energy ft Yashna, Lethokuhle ft Nonji, Abazali ft Minnie Ntuli and Vuyani(nominated song of the year at the 031 awards) and Indlela with Vuyani ft Maline Aura. On the 29th of October J Sbu released his debut E.P titled Gulf of Alaska. The E.P is as captivating and energetic as the unique Gulf of Alaska, ” where the two oceans meet but never mix”. The 5 track project is a mix of  pounding drums, pulsing basses and exotic melodies that offer you the opportunity to cut loose on the dance floor.
