ANDRA grew up in Swakopmund - a small town squashed between the cold Atlantic Ocean and the mystic Namib Desert. In
2007 she moved to Pretoria and soon teamed up with producer Ludwig Bouwer. "Secrets and Skeletons ... Notes from a
Desert Café", her debut Album, was released towards the end of 2007. The album's release was followed by several
nationwide South African tours, a sold-out tour of Namibia and performances at major Southern African festivals.
Her ever growing number of fans realise that ANDRA's music is constantly evolving, reflecting new dimensions and exciting
sounds without losing her "voice of the desert" quality. True to her nature, ANDRA underplays the effect of her music:
"I'm just telling stories, attaching sounds" she states. Her second album "Ever had that Feeling" was launched on
9 November 2009, to much acclaim. The album is available at stores nationwide with European release dates scheduled
for March 2010. For more information, please visit www.andra.co.za or

DAMARADIKDING (born Arthur !Nanub, December 08,1980 in Windhoek) is an Namibian R&B, hip-hop and Kwaito music artist,
rapper, songwriter and producer. He was the ring leader of one of the most influential groups of Kwaito, the Matongo
Family. Influenced by early MTV years of YO! MTV Raps in the 90's, he fell in love with hip-hop culture and quickly
engulfed himself into this new lifestyle as a MC of his home suburb of Katutura. According to Arthur, he could easily
relate to Hip-hop because of its portrayal to street life as he himself grew up in a rough neighbourhood.
Currently he has completed a 13 track album which will be released under his label CHESSTA RECORDS in spring. His first
single from his forthcoming solo debut "Bakuten" feat newcomers Trowisas is receiving massive airplay on the Namibian
music Charts. |

The trigger for her love of music started at the tender age off five, when she first heard the emotional notes of Bolero
in her family home. Then, whenever she had a chance, she attacked the piano and created her own melodies to challenge
boredom and her love for music. In her early teens, she found the instrument that spoke clearest to her, the guitar.
Danella wakes up with melodies and is inspired by life events .... sad and happy. She has written 20 songs and is
passionately dedicated to her art, her music.
In the near future, she would like to record her first album. Her style captures life's up and downs, and as only true
artists can, her listeners often find solace in her lyrics and sound. |

Cool J Prince aka CJP is a member of one of the prominent Ragga/Dancehall and two time Channel O Award Nominees group THE
KALAHARIANS.
He started his musical career in the early nineties with different outfits like System Enemy, Extra Large and The Dungeon
Family before teaming up with the Kalaharians now signed under Ogopa Butterfly.
His love for music dates back as far as he can remember, with his likes for Brook Benton, Frank Sinatra, James Brown and many
more. Like his late mom, his love for music developed with every day of his life to this very day. After high school he just
indulged himself with the entertainment business by doing theatre acts, attending musical workshops, enrolling in music
theory classes. He is a versatile vocal artist, a good songwriter and a very good dancer. Yes, there is no way you can leave
him out of instruments like the marimbas, percussions and the flute.
Although he embarks on a solo project now, he still remains a member of the Kalaharians. He has a single out now on air
titled "Cum luv me tonight" of which the video also enjoys visual airplay on One Africa Television and NBC TV.
CJP is very humble. He is a man of faith, a father and a bad cook. He loves music and life; is very reserved and loves reading
in his spare time or just sits and composes songs. His message to the people would be that people should take life easy and
learn to roll with the punches for only the fittest of the fittest shall survive. He thinks of himself as the next best
thing on a solo tip in the Namibian music industry and Africa as a whole… You can get in touch with CJP on Facebook.
His favorite quote is: Just breathe, work hard and relax |

Elemotho G.R Mosimane is a Namibian born musician who composes, records and performs his own music. This artist plays
acoustic guitar as well as sings in his mother-tongue Setswana, English and other Namibian languages. He does not classify
his music under a certain style "I see myself as a performing artist and musical activist; I like to throw reality around,
thus exploring the depth of the human spirit".
When you listen to Elemotho´s first album "The system is a joke" you get an impression that you are listening to a musician
who has a lot to say. He carries his music with a touch of rhythms from the Kalahari Desert, mixed with ethnic and global
sounds, the calling of the rain combined with messages for our modern times. Elemotho has been busy the last years,
performing from South Africa to European International music festivals getting his music more solid and tighter than ever.
This musician has had the time to explore new sensations and odours all resulting into "HUMAN", his second album. |

Richard Meyer is no new-comer to Namibia's thriving music and entertainment industry, having wooed Namibian Jazz and Soul
audiences for close on 20 years now. Being the stalwart of the Namibian police brass band for almost his entire musical
career, he significantly contributed towards the repertoire of this fine troupe of musicians. Simultaneously he showed many
an aspiring trumpeter and tuba player the ropes during his tenure in the police force. Privately he pursued his love for
writing music and singing soul and jazz evergreens with such fine entertainment outfits like Purple Haze and The Weekend
Band.
In 2009 Richard decided to perfect his performance talents as a solo jazz vocalist, and concentrated on his 'comeback' into
Namibia's mainstream entertainment arena. There seems no stopping the creative energy of this seasoned artist. With one CD
album imminently waiting to be released, another double album of All-time favorites is already waiting in the wings.
Richard's ever-increasing repertoire includes cover classics from the 60's through to the 90's; delivering Barry White or
Michael Bolton renditions with as much as ease as penning his own compositions; showstoppers which will no doubt take him
onto stages beyond the confines of Namibia. |

Jewelz was born in Mutare, Zimbabwe in 1985. Her love for singing and music were present in the very early stages of her

To date Joh White is Namibia's only white comedian. Since making his debut on 6th November 2009, he has accomplished much
success and growth within the comedy industry. After graduating from Windhoek High School in 2004 he set off to the
University of Stellenbosch for his tertiary studies and in 2008 he graduated with BComm degree in Management Accounting.
Not ever really considering the fact the stage might be his passion, he has always been the clown in his group of friends,
as is the case also in the firm where he works.
During 2009 he felt the urge to try stand up comedy after being inspired by many overseas comedians and that he believed he
had the right sense of humour for it. He found out about the 'Free Your Mind' stand up comedy concept in Namibia and
contacted them in October 2009. That November, he became the first ever white comedian to enter onto a Namibian stage,
history in the making. To date the majority of his acts have been in English, but being from an Afrikaans family it is
also possible for him to specialise in Afrikaans humour.
"Making people laugh is really a passion and a huge God given talent that I have. Stand up comedy is a great way for me to
escape from all the stresses of the world. Especially when you write your material, it's like your mind just enters another
universe. I can only pray that would be blessed with even greater things to happen in the future" |

When an idea, fuelled by passion and pursued with dedication, evolves by its own volition into a free- spirited, creative
process, the result is more than the sum total of its parts. For example Organic Groove: A 3-piece cross-cultural, musical
interaction fusing the Australian Didgeridoo, the African Drum and the European Guitar into a harmonic, tangible whole,
creating new possibilities for cultural explorations.
From the onset the group consisting of Gerhard Beyleveld (Didgeridoo), Richard Redecker (Lead Guitar), Noddy Alfred
(African Percussion) decided not to over-conceptualize their material, but rather allow each individual musician and
instrument to harmonize and express creativity without dominating the whole. In a word: Organic!
The easy listening repertoire of the group includes tunes reminiscent of a more aesthetic philosophy, celebrating life for
life's sake, without excluding the realities of everyday challenges. Musical genres easily identified in the spontaneous
melodies are African Kwela tunes, American folk-rock and Western Jazz improvisations. |

mainstream ideas to piece together an album.

According to legend, Small Town Tramp was born at the end of 2009 in Namibia, along the Southwest coast of Africa
(Benguela current and all!). It is said that from the sands here in one of the oldest deserts in the world, grew a musical
force with such vigour, such audacity, that it stood ready to rule the world! A force which fused electrical rhythms and
distorted sounds over thunderous beats... sculpting... forming... moulding its existence... it's very being... into a
gnarly pair of big, red, sandy testes.
In reality however, singer/guitarist PD Stoman (Mojo Blues Electric Band) and bassist Sigi Mueller (Arcana XXII) one day
decided it was time to play some good dirty rock 'n roll, and found a beat-partner in drummer Chris De Chavonnes Vrugt
(Multisonus) … a band was born. Their style is a blend of grungy alternative rock that is best listened to at high
volumes.
Currently finalizing material for a debut mini-EP, which is due for release in the latter part of 2010, the lads are already
gearing up to cross international borders in 2011. |
