Substance and respect make music

King Molefe has been a guitar player since the apartheid days but currently finds it hard to play especially with the youth because of lack of respect, resulting in his love for music slowly wearing out.

At a young age, music has been his form of expression used to communicate on issues affecting people from all walks of life doing this through soul, African jazz and reggae.

“In the times we live in, the youth are spear heading the music industry and the direction they are taking the industry in is questionable,” Molefe said.

He has been sending samples of his recorded work also known as demo’s to recording companies and hopes on getting a response from a reputable company that produces authentic music or music with substance such as Gallo Records or Sony BMG.

Considering the lack of respect and rebelliousness he’s noticed amongst the young, Molefe says that the youth who are passionate in music can get far if they stick to their roots and make respect an important principle in both their life and music.

“I’ve made several appointments for practice sessions and the lack of commitment and honouring appointments is just shocking,” Molefe said.

Next year he is releasing more music under his project titled ‘No money No love’, pointing to what he says if a justified form of ‘gold digging’.

He says his upcoming music project will challenge women to be independent, respect their bodies and follow their dreams.

This project is due for completion in first quarter of 2014.
