Vibration Taylor reaching new heights

His career started in his high school years when he won the first prize of a rap competition in 2003 and 2004. He also participated in activities such as the school choir, poetry, drama, sports and dance and was awarded numerous certificates in Eisteddfods. He also began recording music before matriculating and he pursued his studies in the media field to broaden his knowledge of the industry in order to further his music career. His first recorded project was a mixtape titled “Raggaflex” in 2009 and he released his second project in 2012 titled “Planet My Music”. He shot a music video in 2013 which was launched at a local club in his hometown, Carletonville, where he is currently based. He has been featured in group projects such as “The Sequel” with a group known as 018 Rhapsodic Hoodlums, Army of Loose Cannons as well as Wes Guz, a kwaito group that re-leased a project titled “Sbekana Kanjani”. He specialises in a rap form known as “Motswako”, an authentic musical style originating from Mafikeng in the North West which consists of a mixture of African languages, mainly Setswana, and English as well as other international languages. Vibration has appeared in local newspapers like the Carletonville and Randfontein Heralds and Seipone Sa Sechaba which covers the West Rand region. His current project is a 17- track mixtape titled “Taylor Made” which was released in June 2015 and has enjoyed airplay on community radio stations like Merafong FM, Aganang FM and Tshwane FM. The tracks in the mixtape were produced by local producers like Eric, Bartez, Simon, DJ Short, Big Boy and Hills. It took two years to record the album and he has been promoting it at local clubs and launched the CD at Chesa By Night in Carletonville on 30 April 2016. He has also performed at the live broadcast of Lesedi FM’s birthday celebration tour in 2013 where he shared the stage with national acts like Denim.
