TxC’s artistry isn’t just about sound—it’s a spiritual journey rooted in African identity, sisterhood, and bold creativity.
As self-proclaimed global custodians of Amapiano, the duo’s work continues to breathe life into a genre that’s reshaping global soundscapes. Their viral hit “Turn off The Lights” is currently lighting up timelines and streaming platforms with a sound that is equal parts hypnotic and high-voltage.

Yet, despite their meteoric rise, the heart of TxC remains firmly planted in South African soil. Their gold-selling single “Too Deep” featuring Dinky Kunene further emphasized their sonic mission: creating music that is as soulful as it is electric, as intentional as it is infectious
TxC’s influence transcends the DJ booth. As powerful female creatives in a male-dominated industry, they are beacons for young girls across the globe. Their message is clear: dream unapologetically, create fearlessly, and lead with authenticity.
