Nitefreak, born Bhekinkosi Mabhena, has achieved an impressive feat, becoming the most-streamed artist from Zimbabwe, with over 90 million streams on Spotify.

This remarkable achievement is a testament to Nitefreak’s hard work, dedication, and passion for music. Growing up in Bulawayo, he was exposed to a diverse range of musical influences, from traditional Zimbabwean sounds to international genres like house and techno. These early influences shaped his unique sound, which blends Afro house rhythms with modern electronic production techniques.

Nitefreak’s journey to success was not without its challenges. As an artist from Bulawayo, he faced limited resources and opportunities compared to his counterparts in larger cities like Harare. However, he persevered, using online platforms to share his music and connect with fans worldwide.

His big break came with the release of his remix single “Premier Gaou,” which gained international recognition and earned him a spot on the coveted 1001Tracklist’s The Future Of Dance. Since then, Nitefreak has been on a roll, collaborating with top artists, performing at sold-out shows, and racking up millions of streams on Spotify.

Nitefreak’s achievement is not only a personal milestone but also a source of pride for the city of Bulawayo and Zimbabwe as a whole. He has proven that with talent, determination, and a bit of creativity, anything is possible, regardless of one’s background or location.

As Nitefreak continues to push boundaries and break records, he remains committed to his roots and passionate about promoting Zimbabwean music globally. His success serves as an inspiration to aspiring artists from Bulawayo and beyond, demonstrating that with hard work and perseverance, they too can achieve their dreams and make a mark on the world stage.
