According to Vuyiseka aka ‘VGM’ the musicians have all worked
to together on different show and with other bands before deciding to come together. The vocalists sang in the Ivory &
Tembisa Gospel Factory from 2008 and the boys worked together in a quartet for
many years. Collectively Define Us has experience across different genres but
have decided to hone in on Afrosoul/Jazz genres.
On 30 August the band is hosting their first performance and
DVD recording at Newscafe, Centurian. I’ve had a preview listen to a couple of
their songs and believe the recording will be something special.
