Sofiya Nzau and Zerb Combine To Create Magic on “Mwaki”

Sofiya Nzau and Zerb just teamed up for what could end up being the best collaboration of 2023. “Mwaki,” which the duo dropped on Nov. 10, 2023, is making an immense amount of noise across social media right now. The song has taken the #1 spot on both of Spotify’s viral charts playlists, “Viral 50 - USA” and “Viral 50 - Global,” speaking to the push the song has right now. With over 5 million streams in two weeks, the sky’s the limit for “Mwaki” and the artists who created it.

Sofiya Nzau is from Murang’a, Kenya, where she began singing in her local church. Over time, she developed into a top-tier songwriter, combining memorable vocals with one-of-a-kind storytelling. Zerb, a producer and DJ from São Paolo, Brazil, is responsible for the instrumental behind Nzau, and it is absolutely perfect. Zerb prides himself on authenticity and unique musical expression, which is on display throughout his discography, including in “Mwaki.”

Within two weeks, the song has catapulted to the top of Spotify charts, racked up millions of streams across platforms, and has put both artists into the spotlight. Given all that the track has done in the first two weeks, expect the next two to be even crazier. Check out the track below.
