In 2018, they took part in an SKAI TV talent programme called 'ELLADA EHEIS TALENTO,' which translates as "Greece Got Talent." During their "A Tribute to the Three Tenors" summer tour in Greece, they were recognised by a television producer, who invited the singers to audition for the show. After their huge break in the competition, the trio performed for various private clients in Europe and was also invited by South African embassies to perform throughout Europe. Thango Simangaliso Simangaliso was born and raised in the small village of Kwa-Nongoma before moving to Richards Bay, where he began his musical career in a school chorus. Simangaliso went on to study music at Tshwane University of Technology, where he received the Cum Laude for his Bachelor of Music.

He proceeded to the University of Cape Town to study performers' diploma in opera with Professor Kamal Khan and Mr Patrick Tikolo. From 2009 to 2015, he was involved in various shows at UCT Opera School and Cape Town Opera. Sandile has been touring Europe with the Cape Town Opera's 'African Angels' production. Sandile made his international debut as a tenor in 2016 at the Dubai Opera House and the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, playing Makhanda in Mandela trilogy. He is currently working as a freelancer for Remarc International, an entertainment firm situated in Athens, Greece. Situmane, Luvuyo Luvuyo Luvuyo was born in Butterworth and raised in Komga, South Africa's Eastern Cape. Professionally an electrical engineer, Luvuyo received rigorous classical vocal training from Mrs Gwyneth Loyd and Mkhululi Milisi (both of the University of Forthare) and has performed with the East Cape Opera Company. He has been a member of many choirs since he was a child, and while music has always shaped and defined his youth, his remarkable achievements began in 2014. He appeared with the Cape Town Opera as an ADHO member at Arts Cape Theatre, performing Credo, a work by Bongani Ndodana. He then began his operatic career with the University of Stuttgart Orchestra, a guest ensemble to the University of Forthare Music Department and Nelson Mandela Metro University, where he played Alfred in Johann Strauss' opera Die Fledermaus.

Connect with Elegant Experience < Back Denver Vraagom Gauteng I am an award-winning actor and presenter. Recently, I have moved on to producing again. I had a good spell as a director on one of South Africa’s local Afrikaans daily dramas, 7de Laan. Family is quite important to me, so after my tenure as director, I relocated to Cape Town with our daughter, Skye. My actor wife, Ingrid, joined us recently. Stellenbosch is where I fell in love with theatre. I started acting in school where, every year, we competed in drama competitions. (Every year I would win either best actor or best supporting actor awards). In grade 8 (1998) I joined the Breughel Theatre Group and got to act in my 1 st television series. I had the privilege of being mentored by the late, great, Dr. Benoni de Haeck. As a director, Henry Mylne showed me the ropes. After matriculating in 1990, I went to study BA (HMS) – Human MovementStudies at the University of the Western Cape (UWC), as I was a provincial gymnast and athlete. This was not for me. I did not want to become a masseuse or physical education teacher. So, I started freelancing in 1992. Needless to say that I have been freelancing ever since. 28 years to be exact. Many leading and supporting roles followed. Currently, I am freelancing again as an actor, director and presenter and, I am also available as program director (Master of Ceremonies). I am also an avid copywriter and voice artist. ARTIST ENQUIRY I am interested in Select a date First Name Email Phone Submit Last Name Company Event deails

Discover the perfect live band for your event. Our talented music bands will elevate your occasion, ensuring an unforgettable experience < Back Gus Brown Band ARTIST ENQUIRY I am interested in booking Select a date First Name Last Name Email Company Phone Submit event details Kwazulu Natal Gus Brown is a terrific Warner Beach five-piece band. Their mix of folk funky original music (and some unexpected cover songs) has helped them establish themselves on the local music scene; they've also played a few big KZN music festivals and opened for Prime Circle in Cape Town, Jeremy Loops in Durban, and Mi Casa in Johannesburg. While improvising around a fire in 2012, guitar-playing brothers Dale and Nick met lead singer Gavin. Dale and Nick, by chance, preferred jamming guitar to singing, whereas Gavin liked singing to playing guitar... So, with Dale's original song catalogue already in hand... A band was formed on Gus Brown Road.Apart from the three founding members, the band has had a few line-up changes over the years, with the powerhouse bass and drum twin combo of Barry and Ryan de Beer leaving to join a new project, but Gus Brown have recently had the good fortune of welcoming two phenomenally talented musicians join the band.Both are exceptional multi-instrumentalists. Chad Porter on bass can belt out Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" like Freddie Mercury, while Brett Kenton on drums completes this incredible rhythm section. Brett possesses exceptional percussion abilities, as well as guitar, vocals, Jewish harp, and xylophone!Gus Brown combines all of the wonderful traits of a dysfunctional yet thumping folk funk family. TESTIMONIALS "I have no hesitation in recommending them for any performance because not only are they extremely passionate about what they do, but their music is of the highest quality."They can also keep the audience entertained during their performance because they can play a variety of music."

Looking to hire an event MC? Book a skilled event MC to engage, entertain, and ensure your event runs smoothly. Connect with Elegant Experience < Back Miles Kubheka Gauteng KEYNOTE SPEAKER, AUTHOR, CELEBRITY CHEF, ENTREPRENEUR, COOK SHOW TV HOST AND PHILANTHROPIST Miles Kubheka, the entrepreneur, refreshing keynote speaker, and author, is the poster child for the audacity of hope. Having once been employed by a leading multinational, he went out on a limb and ingeniously created a restaurant with the same name and branding as a fictional restaurant portrayed in a famous ‘beeg beeg dreamer’ TV ad campaign. In doing so, he catapulted into media stardom and soon translated his innovative thinking into entrepreneurial success. When occupying centre stage at a business symposium and delivering a keynote, Miles has a clear message of hope for multinationals and small businesses alike. If you hire the right people with an entrepreneurial mindset, you can build new business models within your company, rather than have disgruntled employees leave and start a business in competition to your own. Miles is also a firm believer that entrepreneurial mind-sets can be fostered within an organisation. He encourages organisations to build a culture that supports employees to become intrapreneurs: people who behaves like an entrepreneur whilst being employed. While Miles’s compelling rags-to-riches story speaks to any audience – his message is universal – it serves as a platform from which to address some of the pressing issues in business today, such as competition, retaining good staff, changing company culture and investing in the future. Both an analytic and creative thinker, who holds a Master’s degree in Business and a post-graduate Business Diploma from a leading business school, Miles believes companies who want to generate wealth, rather than to preserve it, need to offer new products and services. He shares his vision with businesses that are ready to ‘think out of the box’ when it comes to leadership, teamwork, branding, and reputation management. In Miles’ own words: “It is okay to build a new business on the back of a legacy business – but will it look like lipstick on a bulldog or a new puppy? ”His accomplishments include starting a chain of pharmacies and co-owning an IT software solutions company. His never-say-die message about going back out there every day, even when times are tough (he almost experienced bankruptcy), is something all South Africans in the business world can relate to. Driven by tenacity, optimism, and self-belief, Miles is uniquely capable of inspiring audiences to dream big but execute with practicality. Accomplishments • He holds a Master’s Degree in Business from Wits University and a post-graduate Business Diploma from GIBS Business School. • Chef• Host of At The Table TV show, SABC 3 20:30. • Writes for Entrepreneur magazine. • Author of From A Big Big Dreamer to Living the Dream – Vuyo’s. • Became one of four independent Microsoft vendors in which Microsoft invested R100m. • Founder of Vuyo’s franchise.
