3 Step is an emerging genre rooted in South African house music, blending Afrobeat rhythms with R&B melodies and African traditional music.

It draws its origins from the dynamic sounds of kwaito and gqom, two popular genres from South Africa, but takes on a faster, more syncopated rhythm.

Characterised by its infectious beats and energetic flow, 3 Step is designed to keep listeners moving.

The genre bridges African cultural sounds with modern global trends, creating a truly pan-African sound that resonates with global audiences.
