She is unparalleled, her unique differentiation is her exciting ,warm and enthralling stage presence. She captures her audiences with everything she is. Her music is the very delivery of Soul and Jazz in a wonderful blend.

This Mother of two decided in 2014 to enrol at a Vocal academy and study Voice Production through the Eve Boswell Method for 3 years and graduated in 2017 with distinction. She also picked up the acoustic guitar as her second favourite instrument, her voice being the first!

Noxolo's versatility has seen her being featured on different genres of music ; Dj Giggs has featured this songstress on his 2010 House album on songs Ilanga and This is it! which she wrote herself. These songs were hits and were on our radios for weeks...

In 2012 She shared the Carnival City stage with the likes of Thandiswa Mazwayi, Theo Kgosinkwe and Zakes Bantwini. In 2017 the captivating Rocco De Villiers invited her to be part of his Monte Cassino Theatre Production and here Noxolo being the only vocalist thrilled the audience to standing ovations every time! One of her favourite South African vocalists Gloria Bosman has been a positive influence and force in her music journey as well. She has performed with her in countries like Kenya and India. They then formed a three part harmonies female group/band called Acoustic Souls together with the Jazz songstress Lindiwe Maxolo. These three have travelled together and performed in Cape Town and they also shared the Joy of Jazz stage with the American legend Lee Oscar in 2015 which was an experience she says she will cherish for as long as she lives! Acoustic Soul also worked with the American Jazz pianist extraordinaire Gerald Clayton.

And NOW! The year 2022 came bearing gifts for this songstress as her long-time standing dream of working with the legendary Victor Masondo, affectionately known as Bra Vic, came to life.

From January 2022, the two began working on Noxolo’s ideas and compositions which lead their journey to the 15th of August 2022. This is when Noxolo Seti stepped foot in the state-of-the-art Howard Audio recording studio to start the production of her long awaited sophomore album titled, MOLWENI.

Bra Vic, one of South Africa's most renowned producers, arrangers, and composers, was behind the entire production of Molweni. He asserts that the idea and collaboration has been under development for two decades and praises Noxolo's unique, rich sound and voice.

This album encompasses the maturity and growth of the artist since her debut album. For Noxolo, Molweni is more than simply another album. Molweni symbolises a coming back home in many ways. This lady of song was a Hlatshwayo when she released her first album and now returns with her maiden surname, Seti. She is now returning to her clan OoNyawuza ,OoThahla OoMpondo ..

Molweni is a story of a song where Noxolo takes us through a captivating and enthralling journey of coming back, not only to music and performance but also to where she truly belongs ; the stage!

Molweni is a 10-track masterpiece with every song written and composed by the singer herself. This beautifully curated all live instrumentation displays some of the best talent and musicians from across Africa. This is the likes of the multi award winning artist Mark Fransman who was on the piano; and the legendary Tlale Makhene who was on percussion, to name a few.

In addition, Noxolo mentions that the highlight and proudest moment of her latest album recording was the making of the track titled ‘We are Gods’ in which she featured her two sons, Buhlebenkosi and Nkosenhle Hlatshwayo. The gift of love, connection, and collaboration through music with her sons is what she describes to be “priceless”.

SAMA and Emmy award-winning composer, musical arranger and producer, J.B Arthur performed all the mixing and mastering of this album. It is without question that Molweni has been touched and crafted by the very best. Her latest offering titled Molweni was released on the 10th of February 2023.
