Locnville:
For twin brothers Andrew and Brian Chaplin, Locnville is a place
where their multiple musical influences and mixed backgrounds
come together. Born in New York and raised in South Africa,
they were exposed to a wide diversity of cultures and people
from a very early age. Having spent the better part of their
lives immersed in the music creation, the recorded their first
song ‘Amnesia’ at the age of 7; By the age of 11 they
recorded their first full set of rock songs written by themselves
and inspired by rock acts such as AC/DC, Kiss, Stained,
Nirvana and Limp Bizkit.
The Parlotones:
Kahn Morbee (Vocals, Guitar), Glenn Hodgson (Bass, Piano,
Backing Vocals), Paul Hodgson (Guitar), Neil Pauw (Drums) A
sold-out 300-date world tour over the last 18 months has
brought The Parlotones to the attention of music fans in
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Benelux,
Russia, the US and the UK – where they packed out 1000+
capacity venues by word of mouth alone.
Primecircle:
In June 2008 Prime Circle released their third and EMI debut
album titled All or Nothing. 15 months later the band is
celebrating platinum sales and an international tour roster filled
with sell-out shows. This remarkable feat for a band plowing
through a global recession is testament to great musicianship
that’s afforded them the opportunity to rewrite the rule book
on turning everything they touch into inevitable success.
The fact that Ross Learmonth, Dale Schnettler, Dirk Bisschoff,
Neil Breytenbach and Marco Gomes have dominated the rock
scene in South Africa for close on a decade is hardly
surprising. After all, prior to 2008, the five-piece had
supported the release of their first two albums with a
commitment to hard work and through a workmanlike approach
to gigging and a barrage of radio hits, all which rapidly built up
a loyal fan base.
Freshly Ground:
Freshlyground formed in early 2002, and is made up of seven
talented and diverse musicians from South Africa, Mozambique
and Zimbabwe. Fronted by the diminutive but dynamic Zolani
Mahola, the band exudes a live performance energy that has
been the bedrock of their success. The experienced rhythm
section of Peter Cohen (drums) & Josh Hawks (bass) is
complimented by guitarist Julio Sigauque, keyboardist Seredeal
Scheepers, Simon Attwell (flute, mbira, sax and harmonica)
and violinist Kyla Rose Smith. Although hailing from diverse
backgrounds, between them the band’s members weave a
musical magic that is highly infectious and undeniably groovy.
Danny K:
Forget every preconceived idea you might have about Danny
K. The tabloid favourite. The ladies man. Even the award-
winning R&B star. After a decade of music making, Danny’s
finally found his sound – and it’s on jaw-droppingly great
display on his brand new album. Aptly titled ‘Across The Line’,
the set of songs on Danny’s fifth studio album deliver just
what the singer and songwriter had in mind when he returned
to the studio – and that is to swing the spotlight firmly, and
convincingly, back on the music. “One of the disadvantages of
not having a new album out for three years means that people
began to see me as just this guy in the magazine dating
models,” Danny says with real candour.
Denim:
Widely regarded as one of SA’s Top Live Acts, DENIM have a
string of hits to their name, and performances at some of the
most prestigious events in South Africa. The group has
received numerous accolades for both their music and their
performance and passion. The list of blue chip clients that
have booked them for their corporate events includes
Microsoft, ABI, SAB, Edcon, Standard Bank, Nedbank, Boxing
SA, Sun International, Unilevers, De Beers, Colgate etc.
Thembi Seete:
Described as “fearless, talented, passionate and inspired”
Thembi Seete is one of SA’s hardest working
and dedicated entertainers. This multi-talented singer, actor
and dancer first rose to fame more than ten
years ago, making history as one of the first female kwaito
artists when she joined the band Boom Shaka.
Their dedication to the craft became the stuff of legends, as
they influenced the youth of South Africa with
their look, dance and music.
Liquideep:
The Liquideep duo is made up of a singer/songwriter/producer
Ziyon and DJ/producer Ryzor, and they hooked up in 2007 over
a mutual love of hook-laden, melodically rich, deep house
music. Just two years after their formation they caught the
attention of the entire nation with the track ‘Fairytale’, which
got play-listed on every major station in SA and received a
SAMA nomination for Song Of The Year.
Liquideep’s originality and appeal could be put down to the
culture clash between the African beat and their awareness of
what works on the globe’s dancefloors, but it’s also down to
their ability to craft sweet and memorable songs: the result of
their combined 20 year’s worth of creative activity in clubland.
Lavuvuzela:
Newly formed song-and-dance trio La VuVuZeLa are following
the release of their first of two No: 1 chart-topping singles,
‘Be Mine Tonight’ and”5 More Minutes”. Their debut album “IN
STEREO”, contains a new World Cup inspired track. Titled ‘Play
To Win’, the track was released in April to radio and is
hopefully set to follow in the footsteps of their previous tunes.
HHP:
When HHP walked away with two key awards at the 14th
Annual South African Music Awards in May 2008 , the noise in
the Sun City Superbowl was nothing short of thunderous.
Music industry pundits, his peers in the hip hop community
and, most importantly, the fans in the gallery were united in
their approval of his SAMA double (and a storming live
appearance) – and all made it plain to hear, that Hip Hop
Pantsula’s Best Male Solo Artist and Best Rap Album wins
earned both critical (from the judges) and public approval is a
mark of how far this gifted individual has come in his many
years of carving out what is now an enviable solo career in the
South African music career.
Arno Casterns:
Arno Carstens is an award-winning South African singer-
songwriter and guitarist currently based between Cape Town
and London. During his career as the lead singer of South
Africa’s favourite rock band The Springbok Nude Girls, and
subsequently as a solo artist, Arno has released 7 studio
albums and had 18 top ten singles. He has won 5 South
African Music Awards and shared the stage with legends of
the music world.
Loyiso:
As a teenager Loyiso Bala was trained at the prestigious
Drakensburg Boys Choir in South Africa. He finished top of his
class and nurtured his classical voice. After overwhelming
success with legendary Kwaito act TKZee in 2000,
Loyiso decided to release his own singles ‘Musukukhala’ and
‘Silky Soft Skin’ in 2001. The singles laid the foundation for
Loyiso’s solo career and he went on to released his first album
“Wine Woman and Song” in 2003, and his second album
‘Amplified’ in 2005.
Jack Parow:
Hallo, my name is Jack Parow. I like Afrikaans. I like rap. But
rap is boring and swamped with people who don’t know what
they are doing. I am here to show everyone how to do it
right. I make music with my friends. I like drinking, dangerous
cars, dangerous parties, dangerous cherries, braai and rugby.
My music makes you smile. My music makes you cry. My music
makes you dance and my music makes you think. I grew up in
the streets of Bellville and Parow and in the Wonderland games
arcade in Tyger Valley. I smoke Dunhill cigarettes and drink
Wellington brandy.
