The JAZIEL BROTHERS may be a new name to you, but they shouldn’t! born in the Eastern Cape, grew up in Klerksdorp and now living in Jozi. That’s the story of The Jaziel Brothers.
The singing duo is made up of Luthando and Ntobeko Ngcizela and if you think you’ve heard their sound before, that’s because they’ve been making waves in Mzansi’s music industry long before you knew who they were.

Ntobeko and Luthando are the brains behind Lesego’s SAMA award winning album My Music. They produced and wrote tracks on My Music and their vocals featured prominently on some of his tracks, including his hit song “Africa Viva Tau”. Their influence can also be heard on his gospel tune “KE TSHEPILE WENA”, Jub Jub’s “NDIKHOKHELE”; Kelly Khumalo hit single “ILOBOLO”

Their debut album, “THE BEGINNING”is the brothers’ official entry and they do it with a lot of soul and heartfelt lyrical content. The brothers define their music as Urban Pop though they would prefer to call it “South Africa on another level”. Their style is an eclectic mix of a bit of a lot of Afro, Soul, Pop, Gospel & kwaito, and it’s an album that is inspired by things that happen around them all the time.

Their lyrics express the words that other musicians fail to express, for instance their charting hit single “NGEKE NDIPHINDE” is about a man telling a woman that he’s sorry - something that is popularly difficult for a guy to say.

Having written and produced all but one song on the album, the brothers are confident that the slight presence of gospel in their vocal deliverance will not deter those who are not into gospel. In fact, their sound is addictive and does not grow old. This is proven by the fact that most of the songs were written more than 3 years ago when they were still under Guffy’s label. Their motto: Give something that will still be relevant 5- 10 years down the line.

This is what makes them different to what’s on the market already.
Their image is unique, their album lacks the ever popular, but overdone gimmicks, and it is more soulful and more vocal than anything else available.

In the beginning God created South Africa’s music industry…and the industry was without substance, creativity and full of gimmicks. He said “let there be real music” and the Jaziel Brothers were born.
Jaziel means God’s Comfort so music lovers here is your comfort, the Jaziel Brothers are in the house!

SO HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN???
The multi talented duo were born and raised in a God fearing family and started singing in church when they were 6/7years old.  It is only when they got to high school that they changed to RnB, fusing it with a bit of pop here and there.
It was only natural that they went on to study Music Technology after high school, thereby confirming that music was the only place they could truly express themselves.

During their 3 years at Eastside College, Ntobeko and Luthando got to meet and work with musos such as Sy Ntuli and Bheki Khoza, winning several singing competitions and awards along the way.
When they finished their diploma in 2002, they looked for work but there was nothing available for newly qualified sound engineers so they left cruel & cold Jo’burg, went back home to Klerksdorp and started selling meat to make ends meet.

Just as the meat business was starting to show growth, they got a call from Guffy and before they could say “what contract?” the duo were signed under Guffy’s label.

Their excitement was short lived though - despite being under contract, no album was released under the label.  Strangely they are not bitter about the 2 yearwait - they believe that God meant for it to happen. During this time they learnt more about production and just how difficult it is to make it in the music industry.

The wait also gave them the opportunity to produce music for the likes of Lesego, Garth Taylor, Jub Jub, Malini and most recently Kelly Khumalo. They produced 3 songs for Kelly’s latest album “Siyajabula”…including the single Ilobola.

They were also fortunate enough to release a family project with their siblings and cousins entitled “Amaxesibe”. They admit that it did not do well because they did not know what they know now about marketing.

R Kelly, Kanye West and John Legend are the producers who inspired these new musical giants of South African Music.
