THE HOUSE THAT MICASA BUILT - The story so far:
Everyone knows the story of the three young guys that were lumped together at a rooftop party at the end of 2010 to freestyle on stage into what became a historical performance. The spark witnessed between the three was tangible and they walked off stage instantly knowing this was the future of dance music. Since then, the group hardly had time to find their feet before they were signed, recorded, packaged and released into a much anticipating market, through Soul Candi. The three musicians, vocalist J’ Something, trumpeter Mo-T and producer Dr Duda became fast friends, furiously mixing their creativity and walking away with an album of warm house beats peppered with jazz trumpet and a fresh twist of soul.
Becoming a household name within months of releasing your first single is not something that happens every day in South Africa – especially in the dance market. But when Micasa released ‘These Streets’ to national radio at the end of 2010 their lives would change forever. Talking with lead vocalist J’ Something about it now, the singer just shakes his head in disbelief and counts his blessings. Two years later, Micasa is without a doubt, one of the hottest acts to emerge from the South African dance market. What J’ Something still marvels at is the sheer coincidence and improbability of the groups emergence – seeing it almost like his destiny, as nothing else can explain why and how those three musicians landed up being in the same place, at the same time, with such incredibly strong musical chemistry.Look out for ‘Micasa – Su Casa soon’.

DR. DUDA
The music industry is nothing new to Mi Casa, the band producer Dr.Duda has been in the industry for over fifteen years, producing and DJing alongside the likes of DJ Fresh, Dj Mandla, Dj Mbuso and making hit tracks featuring talented vocalists such as RJ Benjamin, J-Something and Zodwa amongst many others.
J-SOMETHING
J-Something is a talented songwriter, vocalist and masters the guitar. This sensation began reading music at the tender age of eleven and this is when he first started playing the guitar. He has also worked with a lot of producers in the past including international artists. His zest for life and music breaths energy into the band.
MO-T
Mo-T is the band’s trumpeter; he oozes with talent and lives his life through music. This talented young man comes from a musically rooted family and this is where the music bug bit him. His father, who established and played the trumpet for Mango Groove, taught him to play the trumpet at a young age and he has never looked back.
