Serendipity may best describe the twist of fate that led Yoav and Jabulile Majola’s paths to converge. Two strangers raised in different worlds, brought together through a musical collaboration that defies expectations, while exploring a shared journey of discovery, vulnerability, and healing. Yoav, widely known for his Indie Folk sound, was raised in a home versed in Classical music and Opera. Rebelling against his formal musical upbringing, Yoav picked up the guitar in secret, developing a unique style of electronica-esque writing that has captured audiences worldwide. Jabulile, on the other hand, is fresh to the scene. Raised in a Children’s Home by a Christian couple in Greytown, Kwazulu Natal, he discovered a passion for using music to share stories via the Church.

Their paths crossed through a mutual friend, leading them to meet and embark on a writing session with no expectations. Little did they know that this initial encounter would spark a years-long musical journey. Within a day, the duo had recorded the initial idea for “Stranger” and after the positive responses they received from friends, they agreed to keep collaborating until eventually the album “Unyazi” emerged. With Yoav’s signature ethereal acoustic sound merging seamlessly with Jabulile’s heartfelt lyrics and captivating vocals, “Stranger” becomes an anthem for embracing the unknown, and a testament to the power of connection to overcome the fear of change.
