Thank you for being part of this journey—your support means everything. Let’s keep building something beautiful, together.
Lethu Skye is a boundary-breaking gospel artist, writer, and creative visionary from Southern Africa. Formerly known as Gugulethu Nkutha, she made her mark with an award-winning debut EP that introduced her authentic sound to the local scene. But this was just the beginning.
With roots in faith and a voice shaped by years of worship, songwriting, and soulful reflection, Lethu now steps into a global space—carrying gospel beyond genre. Her sound is gospel at the core, layered with jazz phrasing, Amapiano rhythms, and live instrumentation, all driven by storytelling and the Spirit.
Her 2025 relaunch marks a new era: one where gospel artists don’t have to choose between ministry and sonic innovation. Whether she’s performing at international festivals or mentoring young creatives, Lethu Skye’s mission is to teach the Word through music that resonates across borders.
She’s not afraid to disrupt tradition with excellence. She’s not afraid to speak healing into modern culture. And she’s certainly not afraid to sing.

Lyrics: Still Storm
[Verse 1]
Izulu lifuna ukubhala indaba yami
Kodwa izwi lakho likhulu
Amaqhwa afane nezindonga phambi kwami—
Wena unguNkulunkulu, ungenze ngithule.[Chorus]
Uyathulisa isivunguvungu—uthi,
“Thula”;Ngegazi nangoMoya, ngiyema.[Verse 2]
Izintaba ziphendula ngegama lakho,
Izigodi zikhulume ukwesaba;
Isiphambano nengcwaba zisayine—
Inkululeko ivuthwa ngomlilo oNgcwele.[Bridge]
Hhayi ithuna, hhayi ubusuku—
Igazi likaJesu, ukukhanya koMoya.[Repeat]
Umholi: Uthula, uthule!
Ikwaya: Ngegazi nangoMoya, ngiyema!
WORK:Faith-rooted. Genre-fluid. Globally focused.
