Write Ups
RJ Benjamin
He’s established himself as a regular on local radio stations, and has been hailed by some as the one of the best composer/singer/musicians this country has ever produced.
His debut album, Who I Am is best described as funkadelic neo soul played by top jazz session musicians and accompanied by RJs sultry, sexy voice, the album is skilful, intelligent and highly accessible to music lovers across the board.
Look out for his second album offering due for release soon, and expect some surprise vocal guests alongside a guitarist and drummer.
Ménage à Trois
The trio performs an exclusive blend of bass driven funk and folk rock with each of the band members contributing their own initiative to the project. The music trancends many different styles and genres, and draws from an array of musical influences, including Ani DiFranco and The Dave Matthews Band.
Natalia
The young singer song writer from the Mother City is currently on her second tour of Joburg, having performed the Cape Town circuit since the tender age of 15, she’s already had the honour of sharing the stage with the legendary Rodriguez on his latest SA tour.
