ABOUT
Siphesihle Suriya Mayekane known
as Dee is born in Nyanga East and
bred in the dusty streets of
Khayelitsha. Dee is a popularly
known as a beast who always leaves
the stage blazing with her soulful
voice. It is evident that I‘ve inherited
the gift of music from my family.
I am a product of Cape Town
Academy of Music trained under the
Award Winning Composer and
Screenwriter Dr Kinsey, that’s where
I received a distinction for the Grade
8 Rock Pop Trinity London exam
repertoire and further continued for
her MA Diploma.
In 2018 I took part in Youth Jazz
Festival at Artscape, mentored by
the five acclaimed South African jazz artists by the likes of Amanda Tiffin, Mandisi Dyantjis, Wesley Rustin, and
Frank Paco together with Mark Fransman.. Also performed along with the powerful well known musicians such as Jimmy Dludlu, Camillo Lombard, Ringo Madlingozi, Brian Themba, Herbie Tsoaelle at Berlin Jazz Festival and many more.
I’ve also made my debut and represented Cape Town as a top 16 finalist on Idols South Africa season 16. Despite of the disappointment of not making it through the
competition my contribution on Idols will always be remembered.
My focus for now is to build myself as a brand and hone my craft and get ready to share my sensational voice with the world!
