a pianist/writer and arranger. He is currently studying music at the University
of KwaZulu-Natal under the teachings of Burton Naidoo, Neil Gonsalves and

church and that grew into learning jazz and improvised music.
He shared the stage with Jimmy Dludlu and has also worked
with great artists like Sibongile Khumalo, Camagwini and Asanda Mqiki. His
music is based around jazz and improvised music, which has transcended to new
harmonic expression while his music is still developing. Vuyo on piano will be
