“The style is solely Hip Hop although that would be an injustice. It is rather versatile, her way of spoken word guided by Hip Hop fundamentals wrapped in a hybrid of Funk and soul and Jazz beats. She is a true original.”

It is hard to describe the musician that is Fifi.
Aged 11, she finds Jazz, funk and Hip hop music encompassed...
Introduced to the likes of Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, Hebie Hancock, Sun Ra and Fela Kuti by her uncle Raymond Motau (The percussionist for the band Malombo) her childhood is one filled with music.

She first entered a studio in 2005, whilst at TUKS studying politics, and began working with renoun Hip-Hop producer Nyambz, featuring on two songs on dub/ska band 340ml’s second offering, as well as Tumi Molekane's debut album “Music from my Good Eye". At the time her song "Hip-Hop God" with producer Nyambz also received considerable airplay.

In 2008 she started working with Dj Kenzhero, performing regularly at ‘Party People' events. Through Party People she toured extensively, performing on stages from Cape Town to Mozambique, Carfax to Oppikoppi.
By 2009, her and Kenzero had produced and released her first project  "Fifi - the Ep Release".
The independently released 5 track EP became somewhat of a collector’s item, and has been found selling in concept stores for up to R250.

In 2010 she began working on music with Kanif, from indie label Iapetus, releasing several singles and videos, including “Light”, which was featured at the 49th Chicago International Film Festival in 2013. Her live shows, featuring Kanif on bass and mpd, Mauritz Muller on guitar and Fifi on vocals/percussions, are an intricately crafted voyage through her ideas and music, fusing live and digital sounds to create a lush backdrop on which Fifi paints her vivid  and voyerous stories to the listener.

BlackMatter, her first full length album was released May 1st 2017, through Iapetus Records. It is an Afro-Futuristic collage of sounds and moods. Set a hundred years from now in a dimension very similar to the present, the songs and lyrics reflect a world and being in flux. Woven with subtle political, spiritual and metaphysical undertones the stories are of time and space and love and the strangeness of being.

In the span of its  nine months release, Black Matter  the album and concept performance have been  showcased to audiences in Swaziland, Switzerland, Amsterdam, Germany and South Africa.

Over the years she has also shared the stage with the likes of Saul Williams (USA), Bahamadia (USA), Tumi & the Volume, 340ml(Moz), Jeru the Damaja (USA) and Mos Def (USA), as well as fellow Iapetus stable mates.
