Celumusa Selepe

I grew up in Swaziland where I attended primary and High school. I did A'levels at Waterford College and then enrolled at the University of Swaziland to do Bsc, majoring in Maths and Physics. In between my studies I would experiment with drums from time to time. I then moved from Swaziland and came back home in South Africa in 1997. I have been in the art business for the past 15 years. Started off as a drummer in church, and then moved to a school band. I have been rythymic since from childhood, taken from my dad who was a bassist and pianist. I then started dancing and acting. I travelled the USA, EUROPE and local gigs in South Africa. I was also a correspondent Journalist whilst at school with the SWAZI TV

Leonard Bryant

Born: March 24, 1940

Beginning as a doo wop singer in the '50s, Len Bryant has spent half a century performing as both a drummer and vocalist. Some sort of musical genes are sure to be found in his extended family, particularly his sister Vera Eubanks, who in addition to being a multi-instrumentalist in her own right gave birth to not one but three jazzy sons, guitarist Kevin Eubanks, trombonist Robin Eubanks, and trumpeter Duane Eubanks. Len Bryant's brother Ray Bryant is a stellar jazz pianist, while another brother named Tom Bryant, unfortunately deceased, was a Bassist and vocalist. From this diverse group of related influences it was Ray Bryant who perhaps had the greatest impact
