Leading creative management and strategic brand platform Plugnation has officially been appointed as the new management team for Amapiano pioneers Kaygee & Bizizi, marking a powerful new chapter for the iconic duo as they enter 2026 with renewed focus and long-term vision.
The appointment sees Plugnation take the lead in managing and repositioning Kaygee & Bizizi through a full-service approach that includes artist management, brand strategy, partnerships, media positioning and live experience development. Backed by a multidisciplinary team with deep roots across music, media, television and brand ecosystems, Plugnation brings structure, scale and strategic intent to the duo’s next phase.
Kaygee & Bizizi are widely recognised as early architects of the Amapiano sound, with their breakout hit “Kokota Piano” standing as one of the genre’s most defining records. Long before Amapiano became a global movement, the duo helped lay the cultural and sonic foundations that shaped what is now South Africa’s most influential music export.
Under Plugnation’s management, the focus will be on unlocking the full value of Kaygee & Bizizi’s rich catalogue while activating their legacy through intentional storytelling, strategic brand collaborations, live experiences and new commercial opportunities. The strategy includes the rollout of new music, refreshed visuals and a cohesive narrative that firmly reasserts the duo’s role as pioneers of the genre.
“At Plugnation, we believe in honouring legacy while building future-forward strategies,” says Kgomotso Gobeni, founder of Plugnation. “Kaygee & Bizizi are not just artists, they are cultural contributors. Our role as a team is to ensure their story is told correctly, their impact is respected, and their future is positioned at the highest level.”
The partnership is designed to bridge generations of Amapiano listeners by reconnecting with core fans while introducing Kaygee & Bizizi to a new wave of audiences, both locally and internationally. With Plugnation’s collective influence and infrastructure, the duo is poised for a strategic resurgence rooted in authenticity, relevance and long-term brand value.
As 2026 unfolds, audiences can expect new releases, elevated performances, meaningful collaborations and a renewed narrative that reminds the culture where Amapiano comes from and who helped build it.
The pioneers are back. And this time, they are powered by a team-built vision.
