Robin Thicke is on his way to Mzansi.
Most people do not know that this blue-eyed soul maestro has been in the music business way before releasing The Evolution Of Robin Thicke. Or that he] is the son of Alan Thicke, from the 80’s TV show Growing Pains. Actually, the title of that album is so apt in demonstrating his transformation from the type of music he used to do before concentrating more on the quiet storm sound format. Anyway, I didn’t mean to jump off course, I just...

Interviewing C-Live.
The radio stations are busy with their annual DJ shuffling and it always creates more chaos that it is worth. Well, sometimes we are glad to hear our favourite DJ voices maintaining or getting great shows. One such voice is that of C-Live Tshabalala, known in the hip hop circles as C-Live.

Naledi Theatre Awards a classy and real affair
Last night I attended the Naledi Theatre Awards at the Pretoria State Theatre, for the very first time since I’ve been involved in the entertainment industry. To say I was impressed with the standard of the awards is an understatement. Everything flowed so easily and you could pick up the passion, focus and dedication displayed by the organisers and all the parties involved.
