Josiah De Disciple has transformed from Alexandra’s township streets to global Amapiano stages. Josiah De Disciple is celebrated as one of the genre’s most soulful pioneers.
Blending tribal beats, jazz depth, and township Clap & Tap energy, his music speaks to love, identity, and spirit. With acclaimed projects like Spirits of Makoela Vol. 2, Back To Basics, Satori, and now uThando noMoya, he continues to expand Amapiano’s boundaries. His collaborations unite legends and emerging voices alike.
Josiah began during the tribal music era, experimenting with styles before settling into his unique sound. By 2014, he was producing early Amapiano instrumentals. Soon after, he connected with MFR Souls, shaping a new wave of production.
His sound blends piano, basslines, and Afro-jazz influences. Inspired by Jazz and township Clap & Tap, his music reflects energy, community, and spirit.
The 2025 release uThando noMoya translates to “Love and Spirit.” It reflects themes of love, positivity, and self-discovery. Each track balances romantic depth and spiritual exploration, guiding listeners through emotion and reflection.
Josiah worked with emerging producers to bring diversity and freshness to the project. Each track carries unique flavors, showcasing Amapiano’s versatility. On the opening track, Amahle’s captivating voice and powerful lyrics elevate the project’s impact.
The song “Amasango” is especially meaningful, capturing Josiah’s perseverance and faith as an artist. It mirrors his challenges and his hope-filled drive to succeed.
From 2024’s Satori to 2025’s uThando noMoya, Josiah explores fresh sonic territories. Influenced by Muzical Chef and Stixx, his sound now appeals to a younger audience while keeping his signature spirit.
Looking forward, Josiah envisions Amapiano’s spiritual dimension becoming more central. He believes this will deepen the genre and expand its global recognition through international collaborations.
