Youngsters hope to wow international audience
Tembisa hip hop act aims to perform internationally.
When it is time for career guidance in schools, children are encouraged to become academics in faculties of science, humanities and commerce.
The Arts is often not mentioned as an industry that can yield beautiful returns and yet individuals like Casssper Nyovest have attained phenomenal wealth and success in the Arts (music).
A majority of parents go so far as choosing a career path for their children without taking a moment to reflect on what the child might really be interested in.
School governing bodies and schools’ management go the extra mile to acquire science laboratories but they do nothing about raising money to buy musical instruments.
The development of technology enables young people to own music studios in their small shacks.
Trillested Trappers is a group of young people who support the improvements of the Arts Ekasi.
The trio has recorded a number of Trap songs together, despite not having professional studios, and they use every chance they get to showcase their talent.
“When we met each one of us was working on individual projects,” said Aphiwe “Aqua Eezy” Maduna (19).
Sipho “Junntal Caesar” Nkosi (21) said as individuals they appealed to different audiences.
When their roads crossed they liked one another’s style and felt that working together they can reach a broader audience and gain more exposure.
“As a result we created a movement called Cloud Nine. Thereafter we built our own studio. That is an achievement for us,” said Aqua Eezy.
Junntal Caesar said Cloud Nine is about brotherhood where they bring together all forms of art and helping one another to move forward.
“Our aim is to represent Tembisa in the music scene. We’re aiming to attain international acclaim by performing on global stages. We want people to listen and understand what we are trying to express,” said Aqua Eezy.
The group claims to be inclusive when it comes to producing music for their fans.
“We don’t disregard any segment of the society. We are doing international music.”
They have shot at a music video in December 16 and planning to do more music videos.
They said music videos will help to put a face to the music that their fans love and listen to.
