BONGI MVUYANA'S SOULFUL SOUNDS BLOWS YOU AWAY

Two qualities stand out when you listen to Bongi Mvuyana: a dynamic voice and a tranquil sound that enables the mind to elope to a parallel universe. Like Jones, Mvuyana's music - termed alternative soul - is a fusion of soul and jazz, intriguing sounds and a sultry pop-jazzy voice.
Her voice is easy to love.

"I think infusing sounds will never stop because as a musician you become inspired by what you listen to and other musicians. I think you should never try very hard or follow a trend. As soon as you stay true to yourself as a musician, then that's how you define yourself,"says Mvuyana 

She says she found her voice in church choirs at an early age. The 26 year-old, who hails from Imbali townshipin Pietermaritzburg, Kwazulu-Natal is a hard worker who believes in achieving great feats. She still speaks proudly of getting a poem published at the age of 12.

A passion for poetry and writing music with deep meaning are the two catalysts that make up her debut album, Dopamine, which was release two weeks ago. 

The well spoken artist has many talents and runs and updates her own website. (bongimvuyana.com).

She says marketing is something she loves. After launching Dopamine she has everyone from media to fans, fellow artists and critics, singing her praises. Her music career has made inroads since dropping singles Sweet Love, Gold made its debut on YFM's hot99 RnB countdown and peaked to number five on Vuma FM's Top 30 countdwon.

Tiago Correia-Paulo of reggae band 340ml produced the 12-track album, with Kabomo and Pedro da Silva Pinto from 340ml as the only guest appearances. On how her music sound was devorced, Mvuyana says:"we came up with a sound we didn't know how to box it in. and i loved it because it was so experimental. I have experimented with a lot of sounds, genres and tones."
