While some come and go, some manage somehow to keep afloat long enough to manifest into something bigger I remember at some point the whole Pretoria was buzzing with sessions from Rankuwa at LSU, to Zone 1, then came the Loliwe sessions. Mams also had a few like the ones at the Backyard and Blackhole lounge, Mabopane,CBD and Sosha also had their own but none of those are left standing.

Karabo is a Pretoria born and Soweto raised guy in his late 20s who describes himself as pretty laid back, shy and lots more other things. "Trust me I am very shy. I love sweet things, I love clothes, accessories, gadgets. I'm a sucker for music, movies, just everything that's ART.
