I got the opportunity to interview SA's leading neo soul artist on his latest offering to the music world called, "Swimming in the soul of music".

Why the title, "Swimming in the soul of music"?

I came up with the title 2 years ago. It came when I found I had lost my way a little in my life & when that happens to me I tend to go back to my musical roots, that being soul music. I literally drowned myself in it & from that came the name, from the name came the music & a whole album!

The nominations are out for the 14th Annual South African Music Awards! Some of the finest artists are up for nominations and that means there's great music on the cards for you to check out if you're not familiar with South African music.

The SAMAs are looked forward to every year because they bring to light some of the fantastic and diverse musical talent SA has to offer. This year some of my favourite artists have been nominated in various categories and I thought I'd give you a quick overview of who they are and their particular music style to check out.
