The event will take place on 7 December 2024 at the prestigious AMPD Studios in Johannesburg, marking a pivotal milestone in her career and offering audiences a transformative musical journey.
Bahatii, born and raised in Umlazi, KZN, has always been deeply connected to music. From her roots in a family of pastors to her early days performing in church, her voice was her compass. However, her path has not been without challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic nearly derailed her dreams, leaving her with significant personal and professional losses. But instead of giving up, Bahatii chose to rebuild, pouring her life experiences into her music. Her latest single, Free My Mind, released in October 2024, reflects her journey of healing, renewal, and freedom.
Speaking about the show, Bahatii shares,
“This is my first independent show, and it’s more than a performance—it’s a statement. It’s about starting over, finding strength, and embracing freedom. I want this show to inspire people to let go of what holds them back and to celebrate the beauty of transformation.”

Fans can expect a deeply personal experience as Bahatii weaves her story through music, connecting with audiences in a way that is both uplifting and unforgettable.
“This show is a celebration of life and resilience,” she adds. “It’s a culmination of everything I’ve been through and everything I believe in. I want people to leave feeling lighter, freer, and ready to embrace the possibilities in their own lives. Music has the power to heal, and I’m honored to share that journey with everyone who attends.”
Bahatii’s journey has been marked by determination and perseverance. From early auditions for platforms like The Lion King and Coca-Cola Popstars, to a career in broadcasting with CNBC Africa and SABC, her experiences have shaped her artistry and deepened her connection to her craft. Now, with her first upcoming show, she is stepping boldly into her role as a leading voice in South Africa’s music scene.
