BULAWAYO is rapidly growing to be the epitome of classic production of music and the wave is not going to skip AboJimJuice — a group that is made up of three talented artistes.
The trio has produced songs that have been making waves on the world’s top music channels like Channel O and Trace TV.
The names behind the clique are Philathu Nkiwane aka Stomza who is the producer, audio engineer and vocalist, Marvellous Ncube aka Marvellous Da DJ who is a producer and Mqhelisi Mathe Donecan_Dadoo who is a vocalist and a dancer as well.
AboJimJuice set themselves apart by their aspirations of being eager to reach the global market through their music.
Two years ago, they dropped a banger track titled Bay’zolo featuring a young talented song bird Pellow from the Amapiano genre in South Africa.
The trio has also worked with Mjava and Metty Intombi Emfishane on a track titled Juja.
In an interview with Sunday Life Stormza said, “We have also worked with Jiggy X a South African on a song that is on the screens of the most watched music channels in South Africa and globally.”
The Istoko eSinompakisho hitmakers also had opportunities to become part of the Summer Carnivals by Joe the O.G and Khekhe, the summer, winter and the 7th editions.
“We are working tirelessly to make our city proud.
We have worked with some of the big names in the industry but still we will push harder until we are recognised globally.
Even though we have worked and still yet to collaborate with international South African artistes, we are keen to produce more of our stuff just to show the world what we are made of.”
“The future of Bulawayo’s music space is bright; we just need to be united and get more promoters as much as we can.
We also have to produce content that is going to intrigue our market effortlessly rather than forcing them to like our content in a way,” Stomza said.
AboJimJuice has also performed in one of the fastest growing music promoting projects hosted by Mlilo the priest tamed Glow Sunday in Sizinda. The programme is all about promoting local talent.
Abomjimjuice is currently working on a track with Bulawayo rapper, song writer and actor Thuts Rodney in collaboration with Ma-E an ex-member of a renowned hip hop group that made significant waves in South Africa and around the world.
“This year is going to be an amazing year because we dropping singles only which means we are going to produce more tracks.
The public should expect more Amapiano vibes that we are going to do with a number of big names internationally.
We are also unapologetically working on our own unique sound though it’s Amapiano but we are looking forward to work on something that is going to set our identity,” Stomza said.
