RJ Benjamin is one of the many SA artists who are keen to explore the social media space, and in so doing, he has taken to claiming his own blog on MySpace.
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!

How different is the new album to your first one, "who I am"?  read more here »

I was looking forward to a night of social networking before the end of year is upon us and 27Dinner Jozi seemed like the perfect excuse to get together with fellow bloggers and workmates to have a little fun.

I had a hand in organising the 27dinner this time around so thanks to my precise organisational skills, things were all set to go as planned until Eskom failed to comply with my socialising calendar.  read more here »

Peezo's Lab in collaboration with Headroom Productions is hosting an event called the Lounge Network that's taking place at the Primi Piatti in Rosebank this coming Sunday, the 25th.

This is a social networking venture for South African musicians and people to get together and showcase their talents as well as to share in their marketing experiences using different social media platforms.

There will be some key performances by the likes of MXO, Zonke, Tebz(5th Flaw),P (Culture Clan) and more. Kenzero and the Phoenix will be heating up the decks and get things going for the evening. To stimulate you audiovisually, there will video screenings and extraordinary visual stimulation with some graf painting.  read more here »

This month's 27dinner in Jozi was really a case of seeing through the first Spring rain to be one of the few people that attended the event, and who walked away being truly inspired by what South African start-up companies are capable of creating.

The venue was the ol' Studio at Primi Piatti in Rosebank, which is quite a cosy venue for the event even though you might keel over from smoke inhalation, as was mentioned to me after the evening's events was over. I don't know about you but I hate stinking of stake cigarette smoke after a night out so perhaps the next 27Dinner can be held at a better ventilated restaurant, perhaps.  read more here »
