Mishy Kope is a Cape Town-born singer-songwriter whose music weaves together folk, soul, and the lyrical beauty of isiXhosa. She first gained national attention in 2022 with the release of I’ll Wait, and later deepened her sound through emotionally charged tracks like QONGQOTHA, Mama, and Ukufa. Her songwriting often touches on themes of identity, motherhood, grief and personal growth, grounded in both cultural heritage and lived experience. Before music took center stage, Mishy studied film and worked in TV production—giving her a storytelling edge that resonates through her lyrics and performances. She’s steadily grown her presence on stages across Cape Town and online platforms, becoming a rising voice in South African music defined by authenticity and soul.
