In 2000, I enrolled in a sound engineering program at Inhouse Audio Training in downtown Johannesburg. The school was one floor above the iconic Downtown Studios. It was common place to bump into the who's who from the South African music scene of the time. Weekdays were spent working on digital projects such as MIDI programming, audio editing and sound production for film. Weekends were spent in SABC's M3 studio recording bands. It was an eye-opening experience to the wonderful world of both analog gear and digital tools.

On completion at Inhouse, I decided that the best way to become a producer was for me to have my own studio to work on my own projects. With the help of my mother, I built a very basic one. My cousin Graeme Cavanagh became my production partner, who at the time had just completed his degree in music at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal. Beginning in 2003, our 1st album project was an experimental fusion of Hip Hop, Jazz, Reggae & Dancehall called Imvukuzane. It was for a local Durban artist by the name of Zamani Kheswa (RIP), formerly of the underground Hip Hop group, Izimbongi. I drew from the musical sensibility I developed throughout my childhood as well as my sound engineering experience. Graeme added the jazz element and the technical aspect of music composition. This experience is what motivated me to begin learning the piano to enhance my production skill.

To date, I have worked on various genres in the form of demo's, commercial singles and album projects and in various capacities. Major Boy Entertainment is my independent record imprint. I now have over 19 years of experience and competency in music composition, production, recording, editing and post production.
