Since dominating the South African music charts in 2012 at the age of 20 with his smash hit single ‘Elephant Shoes’, Jimmy Nevis has become a much-loved household name in his native country.
Born and raised in the suburb of Athlone in Cape Town, he has since solidified his status with a string of other country-wide No.1 singles such as ‘Heartboxing’, ‘Balloon’, ‘7764’ and his collaborations with Kwesta, Mi Casa, Karen Zoid and most recently U.S. DJ Max Styler.
