"My name is Mkhontotowesizwe Zwedala, but people call me MK, I'm 21 years old and I'm from Gugulethu. I speak Xhosa and Engish and I study Saxophone at Ntonga Music School. My father is a photographer in Gugulethu and I'm the third born of 4 children. I finished high school and I want to be a professional musician in future. I walk every day to the school to take classes with Mr. John , who teaches us to read and play music. My main influences in music are John Coltrane, McCoy Mrubata, and Winston Mankunku-Ngozi. I can't really explain what I feel when I play music but if you listen to me you'll understand. I try to tell a story with my instrument. I want to be successful, in order to take care of my family, I want to travel to France and be able to inspire and motivate the young kids."
