Jabulani Hadebe (born 2 December 1984), better known by his stage name Sjava is a South African award winning recording artist from Johannesburg, South Africa. He is currently signed to Ambitiouz Entertainment.[5] He rose to fame in 2015 after the high success of Miss Pru's debut single, "Ameni" which featured him on the catchy chorus.[6] He won the 2018 BET Viewers' Choice Best International Act award.[7]

Isina Muva

On 8 April 2016 he released his debut single as a solo artist, "Ekuseni".[8] It would earn him commercial success and build up anticipation for an album release. He then released his debut album, "Isina Muva" on 22 July 2016[9] which is derived from a Zulu idiom meaning “late bloomer” or saving the best for last, emphasising that the last one who arrives, produces more and harnesses more.[10] Isina Muva was certified Gold by the Recording Industry of South Africa (RiSA) and Sjava celebrated by releasing a deluxe version of the album titled Isina Muva: Gold Deluxe[11][12]
