This is what cultural preservation sounds like… I’m grateful to have played a part in Afrikaraoke for Castle Milk Stout - a project dedicated to keeping traditional African songs alive. Working with an incredible choir and cultural leaders, we recorded 12 powerful songs rooted in heritage, ensuring their stories live on for future generations. These recordings were transformed into karaoke videos - as seen in this video - inviting communities to sing, connect, and celebrate their cultural roots in a way that’s both meaningful and fun. Honored to be part of something that turns preservation into participation 🙌

Thrilled to share more great news! Howard Audio has been recognized as an October #bestofthemonth winner by Creative Circle SA for our work on the Toyota Hilux ad. 🎉 This project was a creative tour de force, featuring a robust soundscape that matched the rugged allure of the Hilux. Big thanks to director Anton Visser of Patriot Films and agency Publicis for bringing us on board for this epic project. It’s always exciting to see our collaborative efforts celebrated, and it’s an honor to be acknowledged by Creative Circle SA.
