Two of Durban's own Singer-Songwriters at The Still Sessions

Mbijana Sibisi is a singer-songwriter, poet and guitarist from Durban. The music that he writes is influenced by the colors of life, both dark and lighter shaded, since in his songs you will find stories of hardship as well beautiful stories of love. In his lyrics he approaches society with a critical eye. His lyrics are composed in English and isiZulu languages. His musical activities seem to be loudest in Durban KwaZulu Natal and in Belgium, for this is where the artist performs the most since he has been building up his solo career in 2012. He has made numerous interview features on local radio stations and is currently a contestant in The Voice.

Durban - bred artist, Dani, has been a singer and a songwriter from her earliest years. She completed her first fifty fully formed songs by age fifteen and began working on her debut album, Open Spaces at age17. The album was first published in late 2011 and has been recently re- mastered in Nashville for iTunes. Following the completion of Open Spaces, Dani took advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to complete a vocal degree, which she later converted to a BA (Hons) in Professional Music Performance, majoring in Song-writing at the British and Irish Modern Music Institute, Brighton Campus. This was later followed by UK album launch in Brighton. Since her return to the South African music industry in 2015, Dani has already made a splash at local festivals such as White Mountain Acoustic Festival and the brand new Durban Street Food Festival.
