PyramidRox
PyramidRox was started in 2004 to develop emerging black musicians, songwriters, producers, arrangers, sound engineers, electronic music production specialists and music business entrepreneurs.
PyramidRox Recordings comprises five studios - two large recording studios, a rehearsal studio, a programming and editing suite and a final mix/master/surround sound suite. The Carters and The Great Hall venues in the Pyramid Conference and Venue Centre which are fully equipped with stage, sound and lighting rigs, are also at the disposal of the development programme. A record label and marketing arm is currently being developed.
This social responsibility initiative recently bore fruit when Lesego, who has recorded at the PyramidRox Studios, won the South African Music Awards (“SAMA”) award for “Best Urban Pop”.
Other artists to have benefited from PyramidRox include:
• Yamaha Young Talent Rocks – in association with Global Music
• Massive (Urban Poetry)
• Vusi Khumalo (Modern jazz)
• Zolan Sky (Acoustic rock)
• Plamina Dimova (Contemporary jazz)
• Faultline (Rock)
• Garth Taylor (Contemporary pop) – in association with Sheer Music
• Zwalaka (World dance)
