Tony Dayimane Reveals How Old He Was When He Recorded “Inkinga”

Tony Dayimane Reveals How Old He Was When He Recorded “Inkinga.” In a recent Instagram Q&A, South African artist Tony Dayimane shared an insightful moment with his fans about his early career and the creation of his standout track “Inkinga.”

When asked about the age he was when recording the track, Tony Dayimane revealed that he was just 19 years old at the time, reflecting on how the song almost made it onto his Big Boy EP but ultimately didn’t make the cut.

“I was 19 that year, it was meant to be on Big Boy EP but didn’t make it,” Tony said. The revelation took fans by surprise, as Inkinga quickly became a fan favourite, earning a place in the hearts of listeners despite its exclusion from the EP.

This candid response is a reminder of how Tony’s music has evolved over time and how, even at such a young age, he was already experimenting with sounds that would go on to define his style. The track’s raw energy and catchy rhythm make it clear that even in his late teens, Tony was already working on music that resonated deeply with his audience.

It’s fascinating to think about how songs like “Inkinga” were nearly included in a project, only to find their place later on in Tony’s ever-growing discography. Recently, the Umlazi-born rapper hinted at dropping Big Boy EP 2 and fans are undoubtedly looking forward to what Tony has planned next as he continues to evolve as an artist.

Tony’s journey is a testament to how every project, song, and even “missed opportunity” can shape the sound of an artist, and it’s clear that for him, the future holds even more exciting music on the horizon. Keep an eye out for his upcoming projects – if Inkinga was any indication, we’re in for more exciting things from Tony Dayimane.
