THEY say music reflects an artist's soul and this is evident with Bizana-born singer, Yallunder.
On this week's episode of Famous Friday, the singer and songwriter gave musical insight into who she is.
"Yallunder is your typical girl from next door, born in the Eastern Cape.
"She's based in Joburg and is a lover of all things art, which propelled her to start her own events company called Soul Energy," she shared.
Yallunder, whose real name is Yolanda Nyembezi, also spoke about how her smash hit, Don't Love Me, with Sjava, came about.
"I met Sjava in 2018 when he discovered me on Twitter because I was doing covers.
"At the time, I had done a cover of his song," she said.

"He asked for my number and a week later, we were in studio recording Don't Love Me," she said.
Yallunder said she would be releasing a new single this month, titled Hlala Nam.
"Hlala Nam is the first single towards my album, that drops on 24 February. It speaks for itself because it means stay with me. Though it has clinginess to it. It's just a song about staying with your partner - which is a love language."
The singer also shared on her new company.
"Soul Energy is an events company launched this year, and the vision is for me to be the first artist to be part of the company. We will then rope in other artists later," she said.
Yallunder said that she had dreams of working with artists including Drake and Yebba, and that she was not as serious as people thought she was in her music.
