OKADAMUSICTV: ARTIST REVIEW : DIE ANTWOORD

Die Antwoord was created as a group in 2009, consisting of performers Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er, and DJ Hi-Tek. Their debut album $O$ was made available as a free download on the website. In 2009 South African cinematographer Rob Malpage (along with co-director Ninja) shot the video for their single "Enter the Ninja. The video became a great phenomenon on the internet nine months later, delivering millions of hits to the Die Antwoord interwebsite. 

NINJA
Ninja (created once under the real name of Watkin Tudor Jones) is an enigma in South Africas' underground Hip-Hop and Electronic music scene since 1998. This talented and patient icon with a body full of artistic tattoos nowadays performs as the lead rapper of Die Antwoord. He's a perfectionist if it comes to music, arts and business. A hard working ninja with a goal. He claims to be the mix of many cultures and people fucked into 1 person...Let's say we can totally agree with that...(photos here) 

YO-LANDI VI$$ER
Yo-landi Vi$$er is the female vocal of Die Antwoord. Not exactly the girl nextdoor, Yo-landi is different in every single way. With a haircut and a voice sharper than Ninjas' sword, she makes the crowd go insane in da zefbrain each time she climbs up the stage. The elfin-like star is just friends with Ninja (and mother of their child) who acts to be crazy about futuristic sex, her group of rats and making lots and lots of money. Who's not these days Bokkie? (photos) 

DJ Hi-TEK
Lots of strange rumors about the person(s) behind DJ Hi-tek? No more zefmysteries. The highly talented beatmonster at the frontpage and in this video is the real Dj Hi-tek of Die Antwoord. Maxnormals' incredibly well-built powerhouse Justin de Nobrega a.k.a. Vuilgeboo$t takes his place when Dj hi-tek is sick of media attention or flights. So, should we keep the never-ending fairytale alive that the producer is missing again? Again? Yes. He was here just 2 minutes ago! No, he's gone indeed bru. Fok. It's a pity i know. Will he be back? He might, relax and listen to your inner zef now my blaar... - from dieantwoordzeflings.com

OkadamusicTV : MANDLA SPIKIRI KING DON FATHER

Mandla Spikiri Mofokeng was born in Meadowlands, Soweto where he grew up like any Township boy, in the process of growing up in a township he avoided negative influences and started developing an interest in music.

At, that time getting into the music industry was extremely difficult and it was risky because people never believed that South African township music would be the music to be reckoned with today.

'Spikiri' started his music career as a dancer and choreographer for Sello 'Chicco' Twala's band in 1985. He was later involved as a backing artist for Chicco's Production until 1988.

His passion for music led Mandla to enroll at Fuba Music School in 1991 to study engineering and piano. In 1993 he utilised his skills and produced music for the likes of Chimora , Kamazu , Senyaka and Fatty Boom Boom better known as 'Tsekeleke'.

In 1994 he formed a Kwaito group called Trompies together with three of his friends . Trompies has recorded 8 platinum status discs to date and are in the forefront of the Kwaito / Gong Revolution, which has seen them performing both nationally and internationally . Currently he sits on the board of  directors  at Kalawa jazmee Recording company and is also one of the master minds  in the DCC (Dangerous Combination Crew) the production team of the company

His recent contributions includes successful records by Brothers of Peace, Thebe, Bongo Maffin, Alaska, Mafikizolo, Jakarumba, MaWillies and Tokollo and Kabelo' solo projects. Most recently, he is one of the award winning Mafikizolo and Kabelo' producers. Mandla 'Spikiri' diverse music talents can be witnesses in projects in which he has worked with artists from other music genres, these include. Don Laka, Moses Molelekwa, Bra Hugh Masikela, Vicky Vilakazi and Hashi Elimhlophe.

SOUTH AFRICA : HOLLY

HOLLY

Pinpointing exactly where HOLLY is coming from musically is not easy but a hot pot of Afro Influenced Indie Pop is a good starting point. Holly makes song writing look like a lucky accident. She is becoming known for performing warm-hearted, funktastic sets that turn the spotlight on the set of self-penned songs that saw her become the youngest signing ever to Joburg-based Sony ATV Music Publishing
