a new myth is the most iconic album that i have been a part of. i will never forget the love the hard work, the blood the sweat and tears and most of all the reason we did it. which was to create a better life for ourselves and the people who the music would reach. thank you to itemaar and sevi from black major for also contributing immensely

Throwback to recording A New Myth.

The calling 04/12/2019

there is a voice in a distant comer of your mind, the one they tell you never to listen to because you are insane if you hear it. give that voice a chance because it may sound like a child but it might actually be the god that lives within you who is greater than the worries of the world.

Like a bird 04/12/2019

the pain of loosing a loved one to any fate is hard to deal with, so i have a series of songs entitled "songs about death" this song "like a bird" is also from this list. but with that said i have learned that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. so with this song i grieve, but also through this song i let go. when you write emo sh!$ there is no time for capital letters

Phando lu phelile a tribute to madossini 04/12/2019

this is a song recorded mixed and mastered at no strings attached music lab its track one from my nine women series which is a list of songs i am working on to sing praise to the heroes behind our heroes, the stones which shall not be moved, the writers of our war cries, the foot soldiers of an unseen, unheard and untold war which is still being fought in the shadows. this is my attempt to celebrate the grotesque beauty of the history of our mothers, our sisters, our daughters, our maids, our wives, our girlfriends, our mistresses, our side chicks, our nuns, our wh**es, our slayqueens, our witches, our ma'mfundisis, and our honorable madam speakers.!!!

men can sing lullabies too

Robala never before in my childhood or adult life have I seen a sight more touching than a mother who is a trained paramedic trying to resuscitate her own child. If that child or if that mother were complete

Phando lu phelile a tribute to madossini 16/10/2019

protecting and preserving the music of the people who inspire me is a thing that is very close to my heart. the list is really long so i wont write it, but i do take absolute pleasure in learning it as it is and finding ways to preserve it. i think the best way to do that is to play this music because we are slowly becoming the custodians of something that is ancient and beyond us. so im proud to announce this version of phando lu phelile by madosini who was instrumental (no pun intended) in exposing me to African bow instruments like the makhweyana which then evolved into a love for the guitar. it is because she is that i am. thank you mama!!!

The calling 16/10/2019

the calling to become, to transcend what you already are, to ascend to higher levels, to take the journey towards your dreams, is a topic that i deal with a lot in my life of music. this voice that sings in the back of your head is amazingly powerful, listening to it is the first step to nirvana, it is the voice of God. always listen. this song features Lord Harry Thibedi on guitar. for a change im on drums, bass, synth and vocals, i also recorded and produced it in my own studio please enjoy. remember this quote from the bible : seek ye the kingdom of the lord and all else shall follow!!!

There is no way to justify murder, destruction of property, and looting. Not unemployment, not crime, and definitely not hunger. South Africa must change!!!
