Known for blending soulful, future-focused production with African rhythm and emotion, he expands his sound with this ambitious project.

The album reunites long-time collaborators including Msaki, Ami Faku, and Mthunzi, while featuring an extensive lineup of African and global artists such as Zakes Bantwini, Chronical Deep, Youngr, Heavy-K, Thakzin, Manana, Nasty C, and Deborah Cox.

Under the Sun promises to be a defining moment in Sun-El Musician’s career, blending collaboration, innovation, and African musical heritage to create a fresh, expansive sound.
