CIZA: Ghana is a home to build global music career

There’s this common perception among Nigerian artistes that until your music hits in Ghana, you can’t go international.

And that good reputation of Ghana being a “good soil” for African musicians to grow their music globally seems to be catching on with other African musicians.

And come June 26, South African artiste, CIZA will be in Ghana to begin a media tour to promote his new song, ‘Isaka’(6AM).

The tour equally aims to deepen his pan-African presence and connect with new audiences,

 The rising star aims to explore the country’s rich culture, engage the media, and strengthen ties with the Ghanaian music scene—further anchoring his brand as a pan-African act.

‘Isaka (6AM)’, is a fusion of Amapiano, Afrobeats, and Afro-pop that has already earned over 5.9 million Spotify streams. 

With Accra gaining global recognition as a creative and tourism destination, CIZA’s presence taps into the growing synergy between music, culture, and cross-border influence.

Born Nkululeko Nciza, the 23-year-old has steadily built a strong digital presence, with over 1.6 million monthly Spotify listeners and a social media following exceeding 375,000. ‘Isaka (6AM)’ currently makes up 66 per cent of his monthly Spotify streams and appears on 189 active playlists, boosting his visibility across Africa and beyond.

CIZA’s previous singles—including ‘Bank Notification’ ft. Madumane (1.5M streams), ‘Carolina’ ft. Major League DJz & Abidoza (570K), and ‘Adje’ (270K)—have contributed to his reputation as one of Africa’s genre-bending voices.
