Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Singer Frya, Who Features On Akayenda By Winky D

Frya’s real name is Rutendo Maregere. She relocated to South Africa to pursue her studies in 2016.

After graduating, she dabbled in music and had a career in finance as a backup plan in Mzansi. However, 2019 was a pivotal year for her.

She featured on the Kure Remix by Ishan, singing the verse after Enzo Ishall’s. That same 2019, the soulful singer renditioned one of Adele’s songs on Instagram. The video went viral, and a film producer reached out to her:

“The way that the whole music journey started for me was when I started posting covers of songs on Instagram, and when I covered Adele’s One And Only, a producer from SABC 1 sent me a direct message expressing how wonderfully I sang. He then asked me whether I’d be open to singing on their new show called Side Dish. We met up for a meeting; he told me the idea for the show. I then wrote a song and recorded it, which ended up being the title track for the show. I think that was the first thing that made me think that I could actually become a well-known singer.”

In 2020, Frya quit her 9-to-5 job to focus on music full time.

Doors opened for Frya, and she even created the soundtrack for the South African hit Netflix series Blood And Water, much to the surprise of Zimbos. She performed the series theme song, including five jams on season 2. She also did the soundtrack for Mzansi Magic soapie The River, Lockdown and the Netflix movie Jiva and Glamour Girls. Frya also provided soundtracks for the South African series The Kingdom.
