The Muffinz
Who are they?
The group began in 2010. It is made up of five young musicians from around Gauteng. They all play musical instruments: Keke on drums, electric guitarists and vocalists Atomza and Simz. Mthae is the acoustic guitarist, and a capella singer and bassist Skabz.
The Muffinz classify their genre as soulful and eclectic.
There is a Jimmy Dludlu and John Legend effect in their music. Their CD, Have You Heard, has 10 tracks with afro-pop elements with strong bass guitars and their soulfulness comes from their voices. Check out their catchy track called Ghetto.
