It started off a remix but i couldn't help myself let the keys take over. Strumming guitar riff by Roland Albertson.

With every new song i find my production stepping up a notch. Been playing plenty Jazz and Blues keys and with much thought i will be changing my name from Maestoso Sounds to 88Roots. 88 representing 88 keys on a keyboard and roots representing the original old school jazz/hiphop/blues grounding. As one would say "back to the roots".

Sincere thanks to the beautiful Hedone festival for a magical morning of elves, nymphs, centaurs, satires, witches, magicians and warriors. This set was designed to hold the excitement in dancefloor at 8 in the morning, so expect something fun, bubbly and diverse, like a game of hyperactive children at school recess ;)

This is my cover of a remix of Anchor by Josh Garrels & Beautiful Eulogy. I got a little fed up with the editing, so the quality isn't great, but it was fun to learn and do. Enjoy!

Follow my journey of sounds.

Co-founder of Louvain Burn Music & Arts Festival.

It all started in high school in 1997 where i learned to play guitar and break-dance. The first ever rap album i heard was Bone Thugs & Harmony Art of War. The precision of their rap flow and lyrics enlightened me and Hip Hop was to become my way of life. 
During matric graduation I purchased a set of Technics turntables and found myself surrounded in the culture with the likes of Ready D at club 206 & Reality, Hamma, Redwood, Blaise, Bionic and C-live. On the weekends the local get together was known as Hunters where Graffiti artists, emcees, B-boys and Dj's would express their art form. Break Dance crew Azanian Flames from Cape flats was South Africa's finest and Demolition squad was the first few white boys to break the dance scene. 
After too much spinning on my head i got diagnosed with spinal compression and was advised to stop dancing. I took my expression to music production. In 2007 when it struck that i had to start taking life seriously and earn a penny this all took a back seat. An insurance salesman and Chinese Martial Arts was to be my new life. Reggae and Acoustic folk music became sweetness to the ears.
I attended the 2013 Cape town international Jazz Festival and socialized with Brother Ali from New York and a band called Chef' Special from Netherlands. I discovered The Robert Glasper Experiment and Gregory Porter and the inspiration reignited the flame. I am back with the vengeance and am currently studying Jazz piano and composition. Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Wildlife Photography are other hobbies. 
More recently in February 2022 I Co-Founded The Louvain Burn Music & Arts Festival.
