Local producer and soul singer, Wax jets off to the US to perform for US charity GEMS, a campaign against youth commercial sexual exploitation, in New York on June 4, among other shows.
This will be part of a US tour to promote his sophomore album, African Dream, due for release in South Africa in July 2009. Recently released, ‘Miss real, Mr Regular’, the first single from the album is already making the rounds on several playlists including on major stations such as METRO FM, and is definitely one of the songs to watch out for in 2009.
The Cameroonian-born artist has a long record working for charity – he is popularly known by real name, Nde Ndifonka, as humanitarian activist and spokesperson for the International Organization for Migration, working against ills such as human trafficking and xenophobia.
Wax is the face of a new international tourism campaign launched by the City of Joburg to showcase the opportunities that lie in Johannesbug.
On May 25 Wax will also perform live on SABC 1 programme SHIFT to commemorate Africa day with the nation. He will talk about his experience as an African immigrant, singer, writer, music producer for local artists, and humanitarian activist. He is also due to perform on June 20 at Alliance Française in Pretoria as part for the French Music Week.
