The Cape Town International Jazz Festival (CTIJF) is set to welcome Lordkez, a rising star in the South African music scene, to its stage this year. Lordkez, known for her smooth and genre-blending sound, has built a loyal following with songs that effortlessly fuse R&B, soul, and jazz influences with a modern, alternative edge.
For Lordkez, being part of the CTIJF lineup is a dream come true. “It is an honour to be performing at CTIJF, it has always been a dream of mine to be on that stage,” she said. “I spent a year or two studying in Cape Town and this fest was always something I would quietly dream about performing at one day.”
Lordkez’s Music Style
Lordkez’s music is a unique blend of different genres, making her a standout artist in the industry. “I have found more of what my sound is… I would say the best way to describe what I bring to the stage is music that is based off R&B/Soul with a Jazz/Hip-Hop and Neo influence nostalgic and fresh,” she explained. “I have blended the music that inspired me growing up with the modern takes of my generation.”
Her songs are inspired by her own life experiences, making her music relatable and authentic. “I am inspired by my experiences mostly… other times it might be a single feeling that I personify,” she said. “I am a sponge that mostly absorbs everything around me. I just need to stay present as often as possible.”
South African Music Scene
Lordkez is a proud supporter of the South African music scene, which she believes is unmatched. “I love South African music – we are the best in the world,” she said. She cites artists like Shekhinah as inspirations, and is also a fan of Loatinover Pounds, Marcus Harvey, and ZuluMecca.
Festivals like CTIJF offer a unique opportunity for artists to connect with new audiences and showcase their talent. “The best part about performing at festivals is you get to introduce yourself to new music lovers, and you also get to perform for people that already love your music,” she said. “It’s a great mix of energy and makes the performance layered.”
