Early life

Career
Thandukwazi Demor Sikhosana wrote, produced and released her first local hit song "Ngicelindoda" taken from a Demor produced full-length album rockstar in 2007.
Demor orchestrated her collaboration with Black Coffee in the single "Turn Me On" which was released and licensed to German label Gogo Music in 2007, with remixes by producers like Ralf Gum; the song became a No. 1 single on Traxsource.
In 2009 she collaborated with Black Coffee on the single "Superman". Later in 2017, Drake sampled the song on "Get it together", featuring Black Coffee and Jorja Smith.
2010 saw Demor Music collaborating with Soulistic Music once more as Bucie and Black Coffee collaborated again on "Superman", which topped the charts, and earned the duo award nominations such as SAMA, MTV BASE, METRO and 2011 Winter Music Conference Awards (Miami).
