EXXKAU
About EXXKAU
Exxkau, born Mxolisi Dhlamini, is a South African electronic music artist, producer, and storyteller whose sound knows no borders. He grew up in the South Western Townships (Soweto)—Dobsonville, Zola, Jabulani, and later Rockville—where music was everywhere. Influenced by different sounds from around the world, he created a style that feels global but stays true to where he comes from. His stage name, Exxkau, is a fusion of X—a shortened version of Mxolisi—and Kau, the way some Soweto youth address each other, much like “Bro” in the suburbs. But Exxkau is more than just a name—it represents resilience, evolution, and the unbreakable connection to his roots.
