We are only seven days away from the release of Sophistication! It has been several years in the making, took hundreds of hours to produce and required painstaking attention to detail.

I wanted Thisbe to share with all of us how the making of the album actually materialized into what is going to be released on September 16th.

The Mills Brothers invited me to perform a duet with them at their show at the Sweet and Hot Jazz Festival in Los Angeles.

My two singles House of Make Believe and After You’ve Gone were featured on Cape Town’s Fine Music Radio 101.3 last week.

My second song and music video were released on Friday 6 May. This song is called “After You’ve Gone” (not to be confused with the 1918 song by Turner Layton and Henry Creamer).

House of Make Believe received its first radio airplay on Monday 4 April on the Philip Newbery’s “Morning Melodies” show on WMBG 740AM.

A few weeks ago you saw the launch of the website and the release of the “House of Make Believe” song and music video. Some of you are aware that I have been working towards this launch and the full album recording and release for the past several years (if not longer….). So how did it go?
