Samantha Mogwe Ft Sasa Klass -You

Soon, the question on everybody’s lips will be: “Have You Heard? Have you heard how The Muffinz rule the world?”. The Muffinz have unleashed their mysteriously beautiful world of eclectic soul to the South African public and they are set for world domination.

The music of The Muffinz is so new, yet so soulful, so accessible, so honest and so innocent, that it appeals to all age groups, races, classes and sexes. 

The five young musicians make a refreshing change from the usual run of the mill rappers and house DJs, who are currently dominating the popular music scene, in that they play real instruments, and they play them well. Added to that is all five musicians are great singers in their different genres of expertise.

Take for instance electric guitarist and vocalist, Atomza. His voice is best described as a young Michael Jackson meets Usher with a twist of rock. Drummer Keke then enters with his  Senegalese meets rumba vocals. The band switch from a groovy R&B rhythm led by acoustic guitarist Mthae and bassist Skabz, to a classy jazz guitar sound introduced by electric guitarist and acapella singer, Simz. And that by the way is just on one song!

That is why, to explain the band, they decided to call themselves The Muffinz. Explains Mthae: “We wanted a name that would be remembered, something catchy but a name that people would want to find out more about. Plus, we all come from different backgrounds musically and so we all bring different ingredients - as in the ingredients in a muffin.”



The Muffinz - Khumbul 'Ekhaya

Taken from the live EP 'The Golden Wake' Dagiwe is an epic that speaks to alcoholism of drinking yesterday, today and tomorrow. The track is one of the earliest home recordings done by the Brother Moves On. So much so that the bassist on this recording is Tito Zwane, the third TBMO bassist prior to the arrival of Ayanda Zalekile the current bassist of TBMO.

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.
