Meet Neo Dube, the fresh talent crowned Best New Artist during the Metro FM Awards

Born in Umlazi, Dube's journey from humble beginnings to chart-topping success has been as inspiring as her soulful music.

With an early affinity for music that blossomed in the sacred halls of a church choir, Dube discovered her artistic voice amid the melodies and harmonies shared within her community.

Today, she is living her dream — a dream fuelled by a passion for storytelling that transcends mere entertainment.

In a recent conversation, Dube shared her insights on her journey, musical influences, and her hopes for the future.

Below are ten thought-provoking questions that reveal the essence of this burgeoning star:

What inspired you to start your music career?

I was inspired by a deep need to tell stories, my own and those of the people and spaces that shaped me. Music became a natural extension of how I express emotion, document memory, and process life.

Can you describe your songwriting process?
