Jeremy Loops launched his music career with his debut album 'Trading Change' reaching number one in the SA iTunes chart on the same day as its release, as well as winning Best Live act at the MK awards. Live, Loops creates songs using a loop pedal to layer up a variety of instruments. Guitars, harmonicas, banjos, beatboxing, singing and frequent collaborators are mainstays of his shows. His performances centre on crowd participation and collaboration with other skilled musicians, including vocalist/rapper Motheo Moleko, as well as Jamie Faull on the sax and drums.
The Fray are Isaac Slade, Joe King (guitar and vocals), Dave Welsh (guitar) and Ben Wysocki (drums). The Denver-based foursome formed in 2002 after high school friends Slade and King bumped into each other at the local guitar shop. The band achieved national success with their first single: Over My Head, which became a top-10 hit in the US, but the release of their second single: How To Save A Life brought them into the worldwide spotlight going double-Platinum and earning a 2010 Grammy nomination for their eponymous release.
The recently released fourth album: Helios was produced by Stuart Price (The Killers, Madonna, Keane) and Ryan Tedder (Adele and One Republic). The latest single: Love Don't Die is currently in the KIA Top 40 on 94.7 Highveld Stereo and 94.5 KFM.
