Wendy's sets are a must-have for any event, and her advice to the South African youth is to keep pushing, keep working, and keep creating.

In this week's UNFILTERED series, Wendy shares her personal experiences and insights into her life, discussing topics ranging from her personal style signifier to her favourite apps. 

Here’s what Wendy had to say…

1. My personal style signifier…

My Brooklyn Circus Merch!!! From caps to hoodies to pants. I love the brand and I am lucky to be with the brand in South Africa. 

2. The last thing I bought and loved…

I hardly buy anything for myself but I think my black combat boots that my mother decided to clean but didn’t really work out. 

They are ruined now and I’m looking to replace them and I’m very sad about what happened. 

3. No party is complete without...

4. The best souvenir I’ve brought home…

I love the good smell of candles. Fragranced candles. I have many brands I can’t choose from. I love them all.  


5. My drink of choice...

Anything non-alcohol, I’m not really into food or drinks just beats hahahahaha
 
6. The best book I’ve read in the past year…

Yesterday, I Cried by Iyanla Vanzant


7. The last music I downloaded…

You mean bought? Spray for Haiti by Kaytranda

8. In my fridge, you’ll always find…

Rosemary hahaha

9. The thing I couldn’t do without…

My phone but I’m really trying to take a social media break. It's hard because of my work but yes my management team took over my account for the next five as I’m working on music and a phone can be distractive. 

10. An indulgence I will never forget…

It's always music for me. That's how much I love music. 

11. My favourite style icon…

Me hahaha always and forever. I don’t really care as much as people think I do about style and fashion. 

Look, I love fashion but other things are running through my mind.

12. I’ve recently discovered…

How great and trained my ear is. I’ve always loved music but listening to people talk about how they can see I love music? It validates what I think of myself whenever I’m working on preparing for a gig.

13. The beauty staples I’m never without…

Blush hahaha I’m such a girl. I dress like a guy but I’m the most feminine person you will mean in your life. 

14. An object I would never part with…

My laptop, My laptop is my life. 

15. My wellbeing guru…

Wayne Dyer

16. My favourite apps…

Tiktok and Instagram! Everything else gives me anxiety.

17. The work of art that changed everything for me…

Music

18. My favourite building...

Artistry in Sandton haha haha A good friend of mine J Something just launched a very cool urban place. It's a three-story building, it's the restaurant, bar, and theatre. 

We run events every Sunday!! Come check it out.


19. Some of the best advice I ever received…

Be yourself, even when it's uncomfortable. I think I listened because there's no one else I'd rather be.

20. When I need to feel inspired I…

I play music or listen to Wayne Dyer on Youtube. I’m actually heartbroken as I answer these and I’m playing my own playlist on Apple Music. 

Please support me by searching The Global Groove Mix series The Dig Wendy (The Selector) on Apple Music. Have fun while you are at it!


Wendy Ntinezo's passion, dedication, and unique sense of style make her an inspiration to many, and we can't wait to see what she has in store for the future.
