I am a South African musician/artist. I was born in Witbank. I currently have three albums under my name. The latest studio album is Son Of The Soil and it was released on the 4th November 2022. In 2016 I released Road To Azania and my debut was Maluju Africa in 2011. All these albums were released and distributed by Rollman Records
I started working as a session musician in 1992 in Johannesburg. I was a keyboard player and a guitarist for many artists and bands, touring around the country and playing night clubs in Joburg. Up to this day I still work as a session musician for some of the big names in our country.
Thank you. Working on ‘Son Of The Soil’ had so many challenges. The album has 14 tracks, so you can understand the amount of work I had to put in. I composed, played, recorded and mixed the whole album alone. I had to wear different caps throughout the production. The only time I was not involved was during the mastering stage. The album sleeve is also my design. This album was also done during the covid 19 lockdown, it was difficult as we lost relatives and colleagues. One had had to stay strong and work in isolation.
The meaning behind the title, I can say it was taken from the only instrumental song on the album. Son of the soil is a person who is down to Earth. I`m talking about a brother`s keeper, a friend, a protector, a unifier and mainly a person who respects woman and children. We are living in a very painful period right now where males are causing so much pain to those who they are supposed to protect, so the world can do with a son of the soil right now.
My sound is organic and ethno as I would love it to be. I try to be true to myself first before I can convince the next person. We call this style global grooves or world music. I fuse sounds and rhythms from around the globe and I sing in different languages, you can pick up the jazzy influences and some afro. I do believe music has no borders. A good song with the right elements needs no interpretation.

I will be doing a lot of live performances and I intend to engage more with my audience and all those who love Lolo Rollins. I also plan to make more music videos because I believe we are writing our future right now and digital content is something that we have to embrace in order to stay relevant as musicians.
