Known for the seranading voice on Black Coffee’s Superman, Buciehaas went on to affirm her position as one of the best South African House Vocalist.

Where It All Began

Growing up in her home town Klerksdorp Bucie loved to sing for fun together with some friends and led the local church choir and participated in a number of arts programs. It all began to change drastically after she was introduced to Thandukwazi “Demor” Sikhosana”, a South African music producer who is also the co-owner of Demor Music.

In 2005, she did the Soul City soundtrack auditions and ended up singing and dancing in the Chicco produced group Maubani. And in 2006, she was in a June 16, youth project that was done by the highly respected, Duma kaNdlovu. On this project she had an opportunity to share the stage with top music acts such as Judith Sephuma, TshepoTshola, SbongileMngoma, Arthur Mafokate and ThembisileMntaka. SomiziMhlongo was the choreographer of this highly regarded project, which gave her valuable insight about some of the workings of the industry.

The name Bucie came about after a series of deliberations. Because the industry already has a number of Busi’s, the plan was to come up with an exciting and powerful stage name that best described her.

The funked up Bucie was the perfect name that matched her rock star mentality.
