My name is Ntuthuko Mfanafuthi Ndebele A.K.A Mthuthu born at Ulundi in 1987 May 27. I studied my primary education at Mahlabatini Primary School where developed an interest in music and art.

I was the member of the school choir and we also had a school dance group.  I studied my high school level at Nsikayendlu High School where I was active in the Music & Drama classes. This was one of my greatest highlight in the entertainment industry as we were winning competitions all over KZN and also performed at the well known Durban Playhouse.

 

In 2004 I finished my Grade 12 and relocated to Durban to further my studies. In 2005 I started writing my own Hip Hop, RNB and Kwaito lyrics though I did not record because of scarce resources. In 2005 late I met some few underground artist like Citify (Hip Hop) & Mlu (RNB), I wrote some of their songs it was an wesome experience. In 2006 we met with Vusi Nyawo AKA Vubs from Ulundi we decided to record two Hip Hop tracks at Indonsa Arts and Craft Centre in Ulundi.  These tracks were produced by Siya who works at Indonsa.  Unfortunately we had to go separate ways as I had to go back in Durban to further my studies.

 

In 2007 I met Xolani A.K.A Jazz mfana kaSibiya from Umlazi who is known by his crazy Durban Kwaito tracks, he gave me the opportunity to edit some of his songs he wrote. Thereafter I deeply started passion in writing not only music but even poetry. I even present some of my poems in Jazzy Rainbow poetry sessions.  Later in 2007 I met Siyabonga A.K.A Mr Virus who was doing Kwaito, we decided to take this Kwaito dream further, so we wrote a song but the problem was the resources like the recording studios.

We started surfing the internet for affordable recording studios around Durban. Fortunately we met Dj Stano of STANO PRODUCTIONS.  We recorded a track and the remix, by that time we didn’t have so much experience so we needed some guidance. We ask Dj Stano to guide us further and he did that well. Unfortunately Siyabonga had to go back home so I had to go solo. I recorded about five Kwaito tracks with Dj Stano than I recorded another 3 with Philane A.K.A Pilatu who is the Kwaito artist.  I started gaining more confidence in recording and I realized which genre I mostly comfortable with.

 

The combination of Jazz and House with a bit of Kwaito is what I have finally based my debut album on and I want to improve this unique music style on my next albums.

I called this genre Dance Jazz.

I am now settled in because I have found my dream and I am completed my debut album which will be launched soon.

 

Now that I have been singing this genre I have grown and gained much more confidence more especially with my vocals, writing and performances. This kind of music is targeted to all music fans local and international because it comprises of house beats and jazz vocals.  So far everyone who has listened and saw my performances has shown appreciation and interest of this unique music. Since I began this music career I have performed in Stanger Music Festival, KwaDukuza Provincial Sport Day, Rallies and some private parties with the likes of BIG NUZ, Dj Tira, Benzy no Mzakes, Dj Masiya, Dj Sox, L’vovo Derrango and many more.

 

In the near future I would like to see myself on top of the music game not only as an artist but also as the producer/music author and the business man.  My dream now is to be recognized locally and internationally.
