When directly translated, this speaks to how, from a very young age, Lia knew she was destined to be the person she envisioned. It also reflects her belief that her talent is a gift from God. In one way or another, she’s taken us along on her journey of self-discovery. Whether she’s refining her sound or we’re drawing inspiration from what she’s shared, there’s no doubt she was always destined to become Super Nkanyezi.

“Ngaqala ngaphupha ukuthi ngizoba inkanyezi, kwasho ukuthi vele lento ngizalwe nayo.” 

– Lia Butler

“Amaphupho ayafezeka.”

– Lia Butler

As Lia’s journey continues, she invites us to witness her growth and evolution—not only as an artist but as a storyteller, weaving every lyric into the heartbeat of her world. Each song unveils a chapter of her life, rich with lessons, struggles, and triumphs that resonate with so many. Lia’s sound goes beyond offering solace; it creates a space where shared stories find a home.
