about

Makhosini Henry Xaba (born 12 June 1974), better known by stage name Joe Nina, is a popular South African singer.

Joe Nina is the producer of popular albums and songs which saw him storm music charts in South African in the 1990s.

As one of South Africa’s Kwaito pioneers, Joe Nina has also achieved great success as an Afro-soul musician but is not limited to any of these genres.

He has come from humble beginnings in the Kwa-Themba Township in the East Rand where he was born, to becoming a megastar, owning his own recording company, writing a soundtrack for the movie Jump the gun, and starring in it by the age of 24.

Joe Nina’s father, Solomon Xaba, was a guitar and saxophone player during the heydays of Sophiatown, while his mother, Lettie, did backing vocals for his father’s band, the Shamings.

Learning to play the drums and singing under the coaching of his father, Joe Nina gradually developed and discovered his own musical talent. By age 14 he could play the piano and at 16 he announced his intentions to pursue a musical career.
