Is an ethnomusicologist, vocalist, African indigenous instrumentalist and cultural practitioner originally from the Eastern Cape and currently based in Pretoria. Her mediums are sound, space, healing and indigenous instruments all aimed at preserving African indigenous knowledge, instruments and systems finding ways to keep them relevant through the moving times.
Ceduma is a composer of music inspired by her upbringing. She was exposed to the sounds of Umnqokolo "a throat singing technique expressed by the Xhosa clan" and Ukombhela "a type of singing performed when traditional ceremonies are being carried out", she infuses these sounds of her engraved culture with the elements of Rock n Roll birthing her Hashtag "The African Rockstar" showcasing its ability to transform into relevance. Rock is an imprint of the method in which Ceduma expressed herself, in trance and divinity.
Her interaction with space is one of healing — a practice rooted in indigenous sound journeys, where she crafts her own instruments and creates large-scale, sound-inspired installations. Through these immersive experiences, she explores and actualizes visions of the future of sound as a medium for healing, invention, and transformation. Her work exists at the intersection of ancestral knowledge, experimental design, and sonic innovation, imagining new ways humans may connect, restore, and evolve through vibration and resonance.
