Walter Mmari is an independent artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa, composing ambient and electronic music since the early 2000s. Walter Mmari blends neo-classical works with elements of post-rock, new age, meditation and electronic music. Walter has also branched out into film and television soundtracks earning placements in independent productions. 

In Walter's own words:
In our modern age of constant distraction, I believe in the healing power of music. Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Music is to the soul what words are to the mind and with these instrumental pieces I hope to take you all on a journey of introspection. Take a moment each day to listen to some calm music, to spend time with yourself, to remember who you are, to discover why you are here, and to set a course to become the best version of yourself. Music is the true bread of life. We are all angels in transit in this place we call Home.

I would like to thank you all for your continued support.

All of my music is also available for streaming at most online music services (Deezer, Itunes, Tidal, Spotify etc)

All of my music is also available for licensing, please contact me with any requests via Soundcloud.

Steve Wilkins has never been in one place too long.  Born in Kentucky as the son of a Methodist pastor, Wilkins has lived in the coastal regions of southern New Jersey, the flat landscape of Illinois, the mountainous regions of the Poconos, & the rich farmland of Lancaster county, before finally settling in the outskirts of the metro city of Harrisburg, PA.  

Similarly, Wilkins’ musical landscape is a hybrid of prog rock, emo, electronic & 80’s pop.  Raised on bands like Rush, Yes, & ELP, the bar for songwriting & technical prowess was set high very early on.  Being the youngest of 4 siblings, he was taught to appreciate all kinds of music, from 70’s arena rock like Styx, to the virtuoso guitar performances of Joe Pass & Django Reinhardt, to the unique metal of Voivod.  A major turning point came in his early twenties when Wilkins & his brother saw the band Mineral play a small coffeehouse in Lititz, PA.  A perfect introduction to emo, Wilkins was hooked and began seeking out & emulating similar bands.

Taking a job at a Christian bookstore in his mid-twenties, Wilkins was glad to find coworkers with high musical standards, introducing him to new artists & genres.  Again he was reminded to appreciate various styles of music, with coworkers being into everything from Sufjan Stevens to Slayer.  It was here that he was able to embrace musical freedom in the midst of a fundamentalist environment.

Wilkins began developing ideas as soon as they came to him, and soon experienced a personal creative renaissance.  He started writing & recording music, building puppets, sketching, rebuilding vintage video game consoles, & even designing ramps for fingerboards.  It was an exciting time for him, but not everyone was keen on his newfound abilities, and not unlike the discovery of the guitar in Rush’s masterpiece “2112”, Wilkins was told to forget about his silly whims.

He pressed on, however, & continued to write & record music & play coffee shops around Lancaster, PA, eventually moving to Camp Hill & playing venues in the Harrisburg area.

Wilkins’ debut E.P. No Rain Remain was released in June of 2016, with praise from critics & friends alike.  Ric Albano of Modern Rock Review says, “Built on an acoustic-based foundation, the songs on Steve Wilkins debut EP are filled with movement and mood taking on a genre classification of their own.”  Since the E.P.’s release, it has been featured on Good Day PA’s Studio Sessions, avalivemusic.com’s Behind The Music, & was a featured debut review on modernrockreview.com.  He is currently working on new material and playing shows in the Harrisburg area.

Subclass 2nd album was released on the 24th of June 2019

Music producer that brings out remixes and original instrumental compositions.

Mainly influenced by rock/alternative bands (e.g. Linkin Park, Radiohead) with a bit of experimentation of other genres and the use of electronic soundscapes and layering.

A full time, freelance children's book illustrator, introduced to Magix music making software in January 2014.  Haven't been near music production since school about a hundred years ago.  Can't play a note, and sing like a drain unblocking - Hence any music I may eventually have the nerve to upload is all created using midi/vst instruments playing compositions created in the piano roll editor.   The Magix forum dedicated to music production is the only place to suffer my creations so far.  Didn't realise it could be so much fun though.  Woohoo.
