Yolandi was adopted by a Christian minister and his wife, who lived in Port Alfred. Growing up to become a rebellious teen, Yolandi would often get in fights with other classmates at St. Dominic’s Catholic School for Girls, which she attended from the age of five until she was 16. Following her matriculation, Yolandi became a part of the Lady Grey Arts Academy.
Her career started in 2001 when she met Watkin Tudor Jones, now better known as Ninja; they started a hip-hop group – The Constructus Corporation – which soon became MaxNormal.tv, another music group, with which they had more success, releasing two studio albums “Songs From The Mall” in 2001, and “Good Morning South Africa” in 2008.
Die Antwoord was formed in 2008 with the addition of producer and DJ named God. They started working on their debut album, which came out in 2009 entitled “$O$”, and which reached No. 14 on the US Rap, and No. 4 on the US Dance charts, but also found its place on the US Billboard 200 chart, at No. 109. They released a video for the song “Enter the Ninja”, which became viral, and featured one of Africa’s most prominent artists, Leon Botha, who has sadly passed away since then from complications of progeria. Thanks to their budding popularity, the group signed with Interscope Records, and released the EP “5” on Cherrytree records, which is an imprint of Interscope. However, in 2011, they left Interscope and started their own Zef Records; the reason for leaving the major label was that the producer wanted Die Antwoord to make more generic songs, but all three members were against that, and the result was founding their own label.
Their second studio album “Ten$ion” came out in 2012, spawning two of their biggest hits – “Baby’s on Fire” and “Fatty Boom Boom”, so acquiring world fame, which only increased Visser’s net worth. Yolandi and Ninja continued to work on their music with the help of God, their DJ and producer, and in 2014 released their third studio album – “Donker Mag” – which topped the US Dance chart, while it also reached No. 37 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Continuing their rise, their next album became a full success – “Mount Ninji and da Nice Time Kid” released in 2016 topped the US Dance, and reached No. 2 on the US Rap chart, while it became their highest charted album on the US Billboard 200 chart, reaching No. 34.
They are now working on their fifth album “The Book of Zef”, scheduled for release later in 2018.
When it comes to her personal life, Yolanda has a daughter with Ninja, named Sixteen Jones.
