“SPIRIT AND SOUND”

MY BEING, MY UPBRINGING, MY SOUL ARE WHAT ENCOMPASS MY “SPIRIT”.
MY SPIRIT IS MY AUTHENTICITY, MY FAMILY, MY COMMUNITY, MY CULTURE, MY STRENGTH, WHICH I TRANSLATE THROUGH SOUND.

I AM NEVER AFRAID TO GO DEEP, MY SETS ARE A MIXED SPECTRUM OF MY MUSICAL INFLUENCE THAT INVITES PEOPLE TO JOURNEY WITHIN. MY MUSIC IS THERAPY TO THE SOUL AND MOST TIMES MY OWN THERAPY.

ORIGINALLY FROM MBABANE, SWAZILAND I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR MUSIC. MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH MUSIC WAS DUB AND REGGAE IN VYNAL FORMAT, IVE WANTED TO MAKE AND PLAY MUSIC EVER SINCE.

GROWING UP IN JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA HAS GIVEN ME THE MUSIC DIVERSITY AND CONFIDENCE I NEEDED TO EXPLORE VARIOUS GENRES AND FIND WHAT REALLY RESONATES WITH ME AT A DEEPER LEVEL AS OPPOSED TO PLAYING WHAT IS COMMERCIALISED AND MAINSTREAM.

I GIG AT NIGHTCLUBS, AND SPECIAL EVENTS AND HAVE THE PLEASURE TO TRAVEL WITHIN SADC FOR RESIDENCY IN PLACES SUCH AS BOTSWANA. 

WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT MY HEART BEATS FOR THE UNDERGROUND. THE GENRES THAT MOVE THE SOUL, THE GENRES OF MUSIC THAT TAKE YOU DOWN A RABBIT HOLE. LIKE ALICE IN WONDERLAND, SEARCHING TO TRY AND MAKE SENSE OF THE VARIOUS SOUNDS AND HOW ON EARTH DO THEY WORK SO WELL TOGETHER. 

DUB, DANCE, DEEP HOUSE, MINIMAL, DEEP TECH, TECHNO AND AMAPIANO ARE AND WILL ALWAYS BE MY TRUE LOVES.

SO HERE I AM LOOKING TO EXPLORE AND EXPAND MY KNOWLEDGE FOR MUSIC BEYOND MIXING TUNES BUT TO ALSO FIND MY TRIBE, THE UNDERGROUND.
IM READY TO SEE WHAT THE UNDERGROUND WORLD OF MUSIC IS LIKE IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD.

WHILE TRAVELLING ABROAD I HOPE TO BUILD MY BRAND AS A METRONOME MAESTRO TO GAIN INSPIRATION AND TECHNIQUES TOWARDS PRODUCING MY OWN EP TITLED “BETTER LATE THAN NEVER”
