TJ Tunez ZA – Artist Bio

Born from a passion for rhythm and sound, TJ Tunez ZA stepped into the world of music production in late 2022. Drawing inspiration from global powerhouses like Zerb and Major Lazer, alongside South African legends such as Vigro Deep, Thakzin, and Kabza De Small, TJ Tunez is carving out his own lane in the Afro-Tech dance music scene.

What sets TJ Tunez apart is his commitment to authenticity in sound design. Each track is built with minimal processing, allowing drum layers, percussions, and instruments to remain raw, organic, and true to their natural feel. This approach gives his music a distinctively human and immersive quality, blurring the lines between digital precision and live energy.

Thematically, TJ Tunez’ music leans into the minor key, a choice that brings a soulful, healing essence to every composition. Yet, beneath the emotional depth lies an undeniable groove—his songs are energetic, viby, and designed for the dancefloor.

Currently, TJ Tunez is working on his debut project, “King Thole Theory (Azakel The 1st),” a body of work that defines and showcases his original sound. Alongside this, he is preparing to release his electrifying new single, “Belly Dance (Bass Mix),” a track powered by heavy basslines, intricate drum patterns, and a fusion of trumpet riffs with rich synth melodies—a testament to his evolving artistry.

With every beat, TJ Tunez ZA continues to push Afro-Tech forward, offering music that not only makes people dance but also connects on a deeper emotional level.

🌿 Poetry in a Fast World

In today’s world of quick texts, short videos, and endless scrolling, poetry might seem old-fashioned. But poetry has never lost its power — it simply waits for us to slow down and listen. It forces us to pause, to breathe, and to notice the weight of a single word. In just a few lines, it can capture emotions that entire books struggle to explain.

Poetry speaks the language of the heart. It can express grief, love, or hope in a way that plain speech cannot, which is why people turn to poems in both joy and sorrow. At the same time, poetry has always been a tool for change. From protest chants to spoken word performances, it gives voice to the voiceless, reminding us that art can also be activism.

Across the world, every culture has its own tradition of poetry — from African praise songs to Persian ghazals, from Japanese haiku to modern slam poetry. Poetry is universal, a thread that connects humanity across time and place.

✨ Poetry is not behind us — it walks beside us, even in a fast world.

He’s got this rare gift of turning pain, joy, spirituality, and ancestral roots into melodies that actually touch the soul.
