Khayelitsha Youth Choir (KYC) was formed in October 2018 in Harare Khayelitsha, formerly known as Isiphiwo Art Group. The name change was as a result of the choir embarking on a more developmental focused vision of not only offering music but also contributing to the empowerment of young people in Khayelitsha by providing educational and social support. Lisakhanya Nunu founded the choir so as to educate and train the youth in music, performance🎶, drumming🪘and poetry. One other aspect he looked at in forming the choir was to address youth unemployment, with some of the choir members having dropped out of school, participating in the choirs activities provided them with a platform to change their lives for the better.

KYC has more than 30 members from the ages of 16 years to 25 years, singing mostly traditional choral and pop & soulful culture music. Their biggest aspiration is to travel the country and the world sharing their knowledge of music.🎤🪘
