QUEENSOUL VIBES SA
Event Coordinators / Artist Management

QueenSoulVibes consists of Twin Sisters born in Sebokeng,Vaal, South Africa. Born Mamokgethi Sekano aka SoulSista and Maserame Sekano aka KhosiQueen. The Love and appreciation of music started from home, Mom and Dad are avid fans of Jazz, Soul, Blues, choral music,and Reggae so they were exposed to a lot of Judy Boucher, Lionel Richie, Chicco Twala, Ali Kat, Brenda Fassie, Dobbie Gray, Peter Tosh, Bob Marley and Lucky Dube, just to mention a few.
In High School they formed a group with another friend, where they imitated groups such as Salt ‘n Pepa and they would perform mostly during school functions. They would also attend hip hop shows at Le Club, Jhb CBD which was the place to be in that era.

In the 90’s they moved to Johannesburg to study where they studied Sound Engineering, Travel and Tourism Management. During those days they met ‘Lasbon Shatta’ through mutual friends, and he would tell them about this club that hosts reggae shows on Thursdays. They went once, and that was the beginning of their journey with Reggae and Dancehall.

Throughout the years they would attend shows and would help Promoters push their shows through social media, they would also take photos and post on fb, that part grew popular to a point where people would ‘harass’ them for the photos or demand that they bring the camera to events. And that made them realise that they have the ability to do their own promotions so that’s when QueenSoulVibes was born.

QueenSoulVibes is a promotions & artist management platform. Their first promotional work was with ‘People of the sun Productions’ when they hosted ‘Reggae Against Rape and Abuse’ concert in Newtown, by the Grace of the Most High, that’s where they discovered a talented young artist from the East Rand district known as JEREMIAH FYAH ISES who is currently making waves within the Reggae scene and they are managing him and doing promotional work for him currently.
