Leegh 28: From a Phone, a Dream, and a Love for Music to South Africa’s Next Rising Star

 

Born from a lifelong love for music, Lisakhanya Bizo, professionally known as Leegh 28, is an emerging South African artist whose story is built on passion, persistence, and an unwavering belief in his own potential. Based in South Africa, Leegh 28 grew up surrounded by music, developing a connection with sound that eventually became more than a passion—it became a way of life. Music was something he listened to every single day, and over time, the desire to create music himself became impossible to ignore.

In 2023, Leegh 28 took his first serious step into music production, creating music directly from his phone using the BandLab app. What began with nothing more than a phone and curiosity quickly became a source of inspiration. BandLab showed him that creating music was within his reach and gave him something even more important: hope. Hope that he could turn his ideas into real music and, one day, make his mark in the industry. The following year, he took another major step forward, purchasing his first laptop, installing FL Studio, and beginning the demanding journey of learning how to produce his own beats. Progress did not come overnight, but Leegh 28 refused to give up. Day after day, he studied sounds, experimented with production, made mistakes, learned from them, and continued improving. Every beat became another lesson, and every lesson brought him closer to the artist he envisioned becoming.

By late 2025, Leegh 28 had saved enough money to invest in his own music equipment, allowing him to build a recording setup and begin creating music from the comfort of his home. It was another defining moment in a journey that had started with a phone. In early 2026, he released his first mixtape, officially introducing his sound and artistic vision to the world. Now, with another mixtape in preparation, Leegh 28 is entering a new chapter—one he believes can take his music to an entirely different level. With his relentless work ethic, growing production skills, authentic story, and determination to keep evolving, Leegh 28 represents a new generation of South African artists who are creating their own opportunities from the ground up. His journey is only beginning, but the ambition is already clear: to rise from a self-taught producer creating music on a phone to becoming one of South Africa’s next major musical forces. The stars are no longer just something he is looking at—they are where he intends to go.
