 What Is Young Stunna’s Real Name?

The name Sandile Msimango may not easily ring bells for most music lovers in South Africa and beyond, but the mention of the moniker Young Stunna definitely brings to mind the young amapiano musician that is taking the South African music industry by storm. Young Stunna may be pretty popular now, but not many people know that he was actually named Sandile Msimango at birth.

Young Stunna was born into a Christian family that instilled Christian virtues in him from childhood, and that is as much as we know about the identity of his parents, siblings, and other family members. His first encounter with the music world was with his mother, who was a very good singer. Since he was born into a Christian family, his first attempt at singing in front of a crowd came his way when he sang in the church choir, and this was where he began to hone his skills as a singer.

Reports have it that Young Stunna’s father owned some sort of bar or local pub in their town, and he had a jukebox that fascinated Young Stunna a lot as a teenager. He would spend most of his weekends at his father’s pub, particularly around the jukebox. This gave him the opportunity to hear and experience different genres of music, and RnB, rap music, and kwaito, were some of the ones that initially caught his attention as a young lad.

Young Stunna’s musical career and orientation were unconsciously shaped by the opportunity he had to sing in the choir and the time he spent either listening to or operating the jukebox in his father’s pub. Though he did not end up becoming a gospel artist, he is currently doing what he loves, and the amapiano style of music seems to be his preferred genre currently.
