You may have heard that SABC is finally starting to pay back the R250million in royalties owed to musicians, so I thought now is a good time to shed some light on how to actually get your royalties. If you’re a musician, I’m confident that by the end of this article you will know a […]
I refuse to let the SABC exploit & play any of my music until they start paying artists what’s owed to them. I recently became a member of South African Music Performance Rights Association (SAMPRA) who are in charge for paying artists needle time royalties, including session musicians i.e. the guitarist or drummer behind the scenes who […]
Last week was probably one of my best weeks as an indie artist! I released two songs: 1. Mmu$i Maimane which racked up 800k views across platforms & made the news & 2. Sugarman ft. Mathew Gold which charted at #2 on the iTunes charts. Both songs were turned down by major labels, but I released them […]

I’m proud to present my latest colab with Bongeziwe Mabandla, “Soloko”. Stream / Download: HERE I have started creating some music under my own name, David Scott. The Kiffness is still alive & well but the stuff I’ll be making under David Scott is more DJ oriented dance music while The Kiffness remains a live […]

Playing Kirstenbosch for the first time with our friends GoodLuck was an absolute dream come true. What an absolute honour to play on Cape Town’s most prestigious stage with my boys Mathew Gold & Raiven Hunter.
