Zanele Tumelo grew up to the sounds of soul, hip hop, country,  gospel, RnB, dancehall, pop, rock, house, folk... It’s no wonder she has an appetite for an array of musical flavours; so naturally her debut, award winning album Dare To Dream is an eclectic gourmet of various musical elements with themes inspired by a passion for development. She affectionately calls those who support her work "diamonds", to illustrate their value and her appreciation. Zanele Tumelo has also done extensive work in the broadcast media and performing arts world, primarily as an actress, TV and radio producer and host, as well as radio newsreader. She has also worked as a photographic model, voice artist, feature and script writer, creative director, videographer and video editor. Her work is rooted in social and environmental upliftment with the aim of adding value through her craft.
