Born Busisiwe Nolubabalo Nqwiliso in Kimberly and raised in Klerksdorp, North West, Bucie discovered her innate talent for music at a young age. Music flowed through her veins like a natural gift, and she began singing in the Sunday school choir at the tender age of 7, where her angelic voice caught the attention of many.

In 2005, Bucie auditioned for the Soul City soundtrack and found herself singing and dancing in the Chicco-produced group Maubani. Her talent continued to shine as she participated in various projects, including a youth project in 2006, where she shared the stage with music icons like Judith Sephuma and Tshepo Tshola.

Bucie’s breakthrough came with her song “Turn Me On,” which she wrote herself and collaborated with the legendary DJ and producer Black Coffee. The song skyrocketed to success, reaching number one on Traxsource and earning both artists global recognition in the house music scene.
