TOUGH NATION VS THE MORNING'S CREW

@bboytoufeeq, @bboywinter932,@jasmine_mazwi, @bboykashief29, @bboydeezy, @khusi
The name TOUGH NATION derived from the tough places they grew up in, and they think of themselves as a nation, there fore as a crew coming from different nations the name TOUGH NATION was born!!! Toufeeq Baatjies came up with this name as he explains it is not only about the community they came from but also the struggles they individually face, and that would make them Tough, Nation.

Breakdancing comes from the street, these talented men love what they do there fore breakdancing comes easily to them. This will be Tough Nation's tenth year as a Bboy Group. They were in the same primary school when one of their friend told them about a workshop happening at the Community and they took the initiative to try it out at a young age. Shout out to Angelo Van Wyk for giving their first class because since then they have not stopped practicing and dancing.

speaking about a battle, and learning about b boy, you firstly need to know the basics before taking on the hard work, musicality plays a big role in attempting probably the most difficult dance genre there is. The nick of this dance is to be as creative as possible,  and when you do copy a style or move from someone else, you have to make it your own.
"You can bite a move, but make it your own." - Toufeeq Baatjies

Tough Nation has traveled may places, as a group and individually. Toufeeq and Kashief recently did a tour in Germany for 5 months with Africa Africa, and in December Tough Nation will be leaving to Spain for 8 months. Toufeeq has been to France 3 times, to Vegas, Egypt, Algeria and recently won the 2 on 2 battle of Shut Up Just Dance on 26th May 2018.

Support plays a big role when you decide to make dance your first priority. Each of them had the struggle of having n o support to getting the hugest support and respect from family and friends over the years.

When these guys get injuries it does not stop them from performing or battling, they advice to eat healthy, stay fit and warm-up. Each of them have back-up plans not like they n eed it b ut just incase anything bad happens.

Because this is Tough Nations Tenth Year as a crew, they'd love to host their own event this time and not just have people invite them to their events. when asked about the most memorable moment as a crew they answered, every show is a memorable show, because of the crowd and the feedback of people.

Morning Cruise wants a Princess Project Party Theme

Jasmine Mazwi, Shanice Appels and Mkhuseli Veto
Shanice Appels started the non -profit organisation at the age of 16  years old.
Basically to dress up underprivledge girls, and girls in homes just to make them smile.

Losing her mother at a young age, inspired Shanice to help fellow girls because her mother made the prettiest dresses.She works with different girls and she  knows the impact of growing up without a mother therefore it inspires her to make these girls feel special because they do not receive this at home.

Started with 10 girls from Lillieblom in Crawford and 10 girls in Wynberg and then it grew into workshops where Shanice works with girls from Mannenberg, Heideveld, Tafelsig and Macassar. Mainly doing Women Empowerment for the girls, and Shanice does not do this alone she has her sister and a team helping her.

Concerning the Princess Party, Shanive is trying to promote self-love and self-worth.
"Even if you have rolls en jou hare is nie  stuil nie, jy is nog altyd 'n princess."- Shanice Appels

When asked if this project is working or if she is still experimenting, Shanice answered it could be rather difficult especially because she is so young and the topics they cover could be sensitive, therefore she hopes in the future people will be more accepting.

Shanice works with donations, such as dresses or tutus, tiaras and amke up, where they feed the kids party packets. Because kids wants to be kids, this is just a day to have fun and be spoiled.

The aim is make girls as aware as possible of what happens in reality althouh this is called the Princess Projetc. They teach the girls meaning of "ougat" (coloured connotation for being sexy before your time) also "Jintoe" (coloured connotation referring to girls as sluts) "moffie" (Coloured connotation when reffering to gay men) also serious topics such as, rape and abuse.

Morning Cruise says Faith, Music and Love

Faith Smal says MUSIC IS THE WORLD, and she is only doing music for a year.

Music is a way she expresses herself, if something bothers her she writes about it and that is how it started. Faith explains that her guitar is the reason why her music sounds soulful, but she knows it can to extend to other genre's but she relates more to soulful, live music.

Faith taught herself how to play guitar at the age of 14 years old, and says she would really like to play the piano too. As she was asked if this would be a hard task for her she explains any instrument will be hard to try but you just have to be persistent and practice everyday.

When Faith was asked how often she works on her music, she replied everyday when she gets a chance or whenever she feels to jam. She says the way to stay on top of your game is to: keep making connections, try to be in studio as much as possible, keep practicing, keep improving yourself, keep changing your music up but also keep your sound going.

The most influential people to Faith is Amy Winehouse and Corrine Rae Bailey.

The essence of making good music, is going with your gut, anything that brings emotion, and if you feel it then someone will feel it too. When Faith makes a song, she first uses a melody to describe if the song is happy or sad then  the lyrics comes after to paint the picture.

Most of her songs she writes is about love, because she feels the world needs a little bit more love!  Music can only get you to another level of success if you have support.

Getting Musically educated with Astryd Brown

Astryd Brown is a singer, songwriter and recording artist from Eldorado Park, Soweto.

Kicking off the interview with one of her songs titled Four feat Yung Swiss she explains the song is really a club anthem, to turn up to and have fun too. The song is just basically saying why should you have one when you can have four,  all about having fun and breaking all boundaries.

Astryd Brown

Astryd was introduced to music at a really young age, just being at home with family listening to music which inspired her to sing from then. In High School she took her music more serious, where she learnt a lot from her friend who was a vocalist. They initially started making music together, started singing in malls and basically busking anywhere.

She has big musical influences namely from her childhood Aaliyah, Mariah Carey and Destiny's Child and for the new school influences it would be Tinashe, Beyonce and so many more but mainly RnB has inspired her to pursue music.

her music career blossomed after Yung Swiss's EP was released in the end of 2016. she was featured on 2 songs of his EP. One song titled "Addicted" was really really big she explains this is how she entered into the Hip Hop scene.And the Hip Hop scene recognized her for being on Yung Swiss's EP. She then dropped a song with Rouge the Rapper and people started noticing who this female is with this voice. Since "Four" was dropped, a bigger market has noticed Astryd.


Astryd biggest challenge as a song writer,  is having writers/artist block, where nothing comes to mind. and second to the biggest challenge is being un-inspired to do music. Astryd explans the main source of income for artists are gigs and performances,since her main focus is just making music, 100% music.

Talking Dance with Shameelah Kinnear


Shameelah Kinnear known as Shammy Sham Rock to the dance industry.


Sham describes what she does as “so Loose” overall its creative. It started with dance but it branched out too many things, opened up an opportunity in different avenues for Sham, with these different opportunities she gets to be involved with different people.

Shameelah worked in the tourism industry, describes the experience as amazing as she gets to meet new people every day. She worked in the Entertainment Industry, she’s a dancer, dance teacher and choreographer. She choreographed a few dance pieces and worked in the Movie Industry.
Street style dancing is the first dance style Shameelah was introduced to, as she was training with a lot of b-boys when she started dancing. She was hugely influenced by the B-Boy B-girl funk styles from locking, popping, house, whacking, and trained with panstula dancers in Johannesburg.

Shameelah was fortunate to have trained with quite a number of influential dancers and in the street dance scene as well. She had a various number of coaches from the U.K, United States as well as South Africa. Shameelah says she’s very fortunate to have trained with people who know what they doing, where she gained the knowledge and information that she received from them to pass down.

Shameelah claims she was not naturally blessed with dancing capabilities, therefor she trained herself and disciplined herself to be able to do the things that she’s doing today. Journalism, and Philosophy Were Sham’s first choices after Grade 12, she wanted to be a writer for the Argus, which was her initial plan. In the same year after school, she auditioned for a dance production with no dance experience, the production was called the Temple of Hip Hop 2008, she has not stopped dancing since. She trained, auditioned and met the people she knows today and that are heavy hitters in the dance industry. As they have been a while in the dance scene, she was a new-B. She did things along the way, she interned at a magazine, in the same year she got her first movie role as a dancer.

Each time she tried drifting away from dancing, she ended up being pulled back because of dance career opportunities or training opportunities and it never stopped since 2007. Dancing is something she sees herself do every single day, her goals as a dancer is to sustain it until her 50s. ITs a big challenge as a dancer to sustain your dancing until you in your 50’s. Shameelah doesn’t see the future where she is not dancing, whether she’s teaching or whether she’s involved with community development through dance, she believes she’ll be dancing until her end days.
One of Sham’s mentor is 53 years old and he still dances, still judges and still competing also one of her biggest inspirations.

“Anyone can dance, but to touch people in a way where they want to dance, to make people feel lekker because you feel lekker, those are the things that inspire me to keep dancing.”

Dancing could be very challenging at times, but the inspiration is never ending especially in Cape Town, she adds there are very good, and talented dancers. Inspiration is everywhere in cape Town therefore she definitely thinks she won’t be running out of inspiration anytime soon.
Shameelah says her biggest challenge as a dancer is the sustaining of the dancers, cause before it was not this consistent for the dance scene but she thinks it is just a case of networking, getting out there and making people know your name, know your face. She adds as much as dancing is about the talent there is a business side as well to a dancer. Her challenge was trying to balance both the talent: going to gym, training and making sure her skill is as sharp as it should be, but also getting out there: going to castings and auditions. She adds the challenge should be to organize that and making sure she’s up to standard in every sense which is going out there meeting people and presenting herself as a dancer.

Over the past few years Shameelah has been focusing on The Business side of not just a dancer but as a dance professional to carry it over to the corporate side of dance. She agrees that it’s not an easy career path but it is definitely worth it, and states if you find something that is worth it, it comes naturally to you.

Shameelah has been to many different places namely 2012, she won the Sprite Uncontrollable Competition, she stayed in Manhattan New York, in 2014 she went to Las Vegas for a 10-day training trip all they did was dance-eat-sleep and last year she went to Germany with the Hip Hop Education South Africa team. She adds that Germany was probably her best trip travelling abroad, because it was about helping a community it was so much closer to her. And she is looking forward to travel once again with her dancing and wishes everyone to invest in travelling.

Shameelah is involved in
  • ·         Hip Hop Education South Africa
  • ·         Arts and Culture makes the world go round I partner with the Best College in Salt river, she teaches the kids dancing during the physical education portion of Life Orientation every Monday and Friday as part of their school work. She believes that everything that was relevant when she was growing up is not as relevant for the new generation therefore dance is a great tool to connect with the kids.one of their projects is the Scarf Run, collecting second hand scarfs and other items.
  • ·         Blanket Run on her own, distributing blankets to the homeless but as well as giving blankets to shelters.
  • ·         Teaching workshops in June at Paradiso close to the CPUT in Cape Town for a winter program.
  • She involved in so much things, and still wants to do more.


Her positive message is “Don’t listen to anyone who’s going to be negative, because there is going to be people that maybe wanted to dance before you but they could not because their reality was different. So Don’t listen to any “nay-sayers “and don’t listen to anyone that tells you can’t because we are proof that you can, and we are the template as fellow dancers. There is no reason why you shouldn’t!”

Lea Heart local Artist from Bellville

LEA HEART

Lea Heart is from the Mother City, like she says “United States of Bellville”… Lea always knew she was supposed to be a singer, from a young age had vocal training, did a few road shows and a courageous music teacher putting her on the stage encouraging her to show people her talent   as she adds to that she was quite a show off from the get go! Only a few years back she started doing original tracks all thanks’ to her producer and partner Jodi Ova aka JAXEE.

Lea is an independent artist that is not closed off to being signed, she believes she’s happy where she is and having control over what music she puts out into the world; what she decides to record and what she decides to be on. She’s open to being signed if the opportunity arises and she gets a good feeling about it.

When asked if she’s getting paid for her music she answered of cause but everything belongs to Jaxee Entertainment, keeping it in the family right now.

Her music has definitely advanced since she was young, she says you need to grow, her music and vocally has definitely grown. She says you need to learn as you go along You need to find your niche, your voice, and most importantly tone of voice you’d like to put out there because people will recognise you because of your voice.

Her new single Look at me, was described as beautiful. As she explains she just came into studio and the song was given to her. Jaxee, Jodi Ova her producer, explains the song was written for a popular artist and due to communication skills it did not happen. And because Lea did the Demo song, the song was fire. Lea Heart made this song her own.

Lea has a job, an amount of hours during the day that puts  food on the table, she says when she’s ready she will pursue her music career full time. Lea does not believe you need a back-up plan, because she will never have that doubt in her mind that she is not going to succeed. You have to believe that you will succeed therefore the step s you take will move you forward towards that point, because in this business you will have disappointments and no’s and you can turn those no’s in to yes’s and once you get to that point a whole new world is going to open up for you.

Lea Heart would love to collaborate with Neyo, because his amazing, he does hard work and he does close off himself to a certain genre.
Jasmine Mazwi, Lea Heart and Mkhuseli Khusi Veto 

For now Lea heart is just pushing singles creating awareness for her brand, will be performing at Rocking the Daisies.

Lea Hearts message to aspiring artists is don’t give up, sometimes you have to have a tunnel vision when it comes to where you want to be because all the distractions will derail you
