Lebo M

Lebo M is famed for his golden voice in Disney’s sensation ‘Lion King’. He is an icon helping out talented Africans get onto the prestigious international scene.

Dr. Lindelani Mkhize

From a drummer, Mkhize stands tall as an icon for one of South Africa’s largest gospel groups. He is regarded as one of South Africa’s musical godfathers. He has a rich musical background from his Durban hometown. He co-founded the celebrated gospel music group Joyous Celebration.
