This eclectic, #TellYourTruth movement is not just a band.They are creative freedom fighters on a mission to make the 

The message is Music. From its origins, through its nature to its 
essence. This is a collective of life-lovers who come together to 
do what they feel they were called to do. In each of us lives the 
desire to brighten our own little corner through music.

Every musical gathering is a bid to keep our inner child alive, so 
our primary mission is to have fun with the Music. However, 
whilst letting go in this way, we still seek to spark the flame that 
burns fiercely; fusing Life's lessons with our own dreams of a 
brighter future. For us Music represents life, nourishment, wealth 
and opportunity.

Our tribe hails from all around the Southern tip of Africa... but it also represents Johannesburg; the city of dreams and lights we have come to call home away from home.


This collective serves the art so that it becomes a movement... 
not just an occupation. We want to entertain you. We want to move you.

We are Zuko Collective.
For the Glory of Music.

Hello everyone my name is NJ I live in Johannesburg I am a believer, singer/songwriter I love God, and I love people. I believe that Africa is ours to build and that God is lifting up her horn, Africa is rising and taking her rightful place in the world. I believe that our diversity is not meant to be feared but rather its meant to be embraced we have to stop fearing each other just because we look different from each other. I believe that I am because you are ( Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu) I believe in love and in the spirit of humanity welcome to my world.
