Ntsika Ngxanga first came to the attention of the Cape Town International Jazz Festival as the lead composer of a capella group, The Soil.Though Ntsika studied Chemical Engineering at Vaal University of Technology, music was always a big part of his life and he could no longer ignore the calling when he and several of his friends formed The Soil in 2003.
At the beginning of March this year he released his debut solo album, I Write What I Dream, on his own record label, Nomadic Tribe. I Write What I Dream was also the name of a musical theatre show he put on at the Joburg Theatre last year, which saw him talk on stage to actress Sthandiwe Kgoroge about the impetus and journey of the various songs which eventually made it onto the album.
