Kabza De Small – Net Worth, Age, Partner, Awards, And Lots More

We all love Amapiano songs. But most of us don’t know where this subgenre originated from. Let me burst your bubbles. Amapiano is a style of house music that originated in South Africa in the middle of the 2010s.

It is a blend of deep house, jazz, and lounge songs, with synths and vast percussion bass lines as its key characteristics. Afterward, Kabza De Small began to play the same songs. Formerly, the genre was known as “number.” But, the name “amapiano” was created and popularized by MFR Souls.

Kabza De Small’s Early Life

Popularly recognized as Kabza De Small, Kabelo Petrus Motha is a South African DJ and music producer born on November 27, 1992. He is a huge influence in house music, amapiano subgenre. In addition to his solo ventures, Kabza is also part of the Scorpion Kings.

Kabza relocated to Pretoria since his family had to leave their former house, where he was brought up. The 30-year-old developed an early interest in music, and by the time he was ten, he was already capable of composing rhythms and producing songs. Being a rising talent, Kabza went to high school in Pretoria, where he concentrated more on music than schoolwork. Maybe that’s why various reports say he was an average student.
