The love of music started in my childhood,the time Micheal Jackson were everbodies hero.I grew up in a family that was crazy about all types of music and that is when I started to like music.My father played in a band and music such as Gospel,Reggae,Country,Golden Oldies,R&B and Disco I was exposed to.
Through the love of music I ended up on the show "Noot vir Noot" and that was one of my dreams that came true.Further I volunteer at the local Radio station,Radio Atlantis for a couple of years where I did the Quiet storm and Golden Oldies shows.Doing the shows at Radio Atlantis were an awesome expierence and gave me that free spirit to enjoy music and let others also enjoy the music.
Currently I am one of the dynamic presenters at Lock Down Radio and hope to gain more experience and let people enjoy music as I do.I want people to experience the joys of music as I engaged with them through my Sing Along Sunday show.

A BMA graduate from the Jerusalem academy of music Israel- in Music theory and Conducting, a Juilliard NYC BMA graduate in classical piano performance, and a triple year acting diploma from Nissan Native acting studio in Israel by the age of 27. Started playing the piano at the age of 4, international competitions starting at 9 years old and endless performances evolving piano playing untill the glorious COVID19. 1st Prizes winner in Germany, Italy, Russia, Israel, had performed multiple recitals and orchestra concerts in Mexico, Russia, Canada, Israel, a continuously grants winner during the years 1998 through 2007 of America – Israel Cultural Foundation, participated in chamber music festivals in USA and Israel, in master classes with international 1st class pianists, in live broadcasts and recordings in the radio in Israel, New York and more. When finished acting school, I came up with a character named Licia- The Old Creaky Pianist, who combines piano playing with comedy, singing with circus acting and aerial acrobatics. Licia has been performing in indoors and outdoors theaters, stand up comedy concerts and in the last three years Licia has been participated in numerous talent TV shows in Italy, Romania, China, Germany and Israel winning prizes and reaching different stages. Apart from Licia I've been participating in a variety of theatre productions where I mostly combined either singing, piano and accordion playing. Today I'm focusing on singer song writing, exploring arrangements of different popular songs with classical pieces and with my own original electronic beats.
My dream is coming up with a master plan of inventing new multi talent language of performing arts combinations shows.
Ashley Nkgwe
"Drift KLD"
Coming Soon
Ashley "DRIFT KLD" Nkgwe is a rapper who discovered himself lyrically in Klerksdorp, North West. He moved from Klerksdorp to Atlantis, Cape Town through work and now is a happily married man with a family, a music career to look forward to and of course a developing radio DJ career as well.
He's always loved music in general but hip-hop always stood out due to the relativity and realness and that is when I knew this was my calling and I eventually answered the call at he age of 16 when I got involved in a rap battle in High School.
My audience is basically everyone that can relate because I don`t just make music about making money and living the life. I focus on everyday occurrences and encounters.
My inspiration is honestly drawn from life itself. The reason I say that is because I take my time to write about the real stuff and try not to be swallowed by material raps which is a common trend.
My following is mixed up, so even people that don`t normally listen to Hip-Hop end up saying "Dude you`re talented, where do I find more of your material". My predominant audience at this point is up coming artists like myself, producers, friends, family and international upcoming artists too.
