Tessi Nandi

Tessi Nandi is a singer-songwriter from Mbombela, Nelspruit, South Africa whose music sits at the intersection of nostalgic soul, R&B and understated pop.

Adopted at a young age, Tessi began songwriting as a teenager; using music as away to process her inner world. At 15, she wrote her debut single ‘Time Is a Thief’, a reflective track that introduced her thoughtful lyricism.

Now 21, she continues to evolve her sound as she grows. Her latest single, ‘Embody’, has become a defining release as she builds a body of work that feels grounded, introspective and quietly powerful.
