Hails from Vosloorus, East of Johannesburg, grew up with music around at home, Moms played Sankomota and Caphius Semenya and Uncle Moss will be on the radio bumping Shadow Twala on radio ...Overwhelmed by Hip-hop at an early age, through teen summit, kriss kross did jump i started recording on cassettes and later was really fascinated by records, thanks to Suri, who took me to his place and he would play his dad 45 inch records.The next i went on to grab my moms vinyl player and my first lp Jimmy Cliff, follow my mind album.
After 3 years of been a bedroom DJ, i teamed up with Martin (DJ Marr) as a dj crew. Together we played at the Lounge(now Zula Sound Bar) opening for a Dj called Masta Cash. We then called ourselves Koncious Cycles (as in the concious records that we played...).after a while of been Masta Cash opening djs, the manager suddenly chuck out masta cash for us as residents djs.. We hosted Mic sessions every sundays and that was a plartform for my musical journey. My next move was a residence at Marvel Bar bar thursday nights with Reemington Steel. With a varsitle selection influenced by a style of music that is global and original. From your old school funky flavored hip-hop, funk, soul, dub reggae to jazzy breaks and rare grooves …continued playing in clubs and bars around Cape Town and Johhanesburg.
