MX (South African musician)
MX (born Mvelo Xolani Gwambe, 26 March 1991) is a South African hip hop artist, entertainer and songwriter. He was born in eMthunzini of KwaZulu Natal Province. He rose to prominence in the Durban and KwaZulu Natal hip hop scene from 2009 whilst studying Graphic Design at the Durban University of Technology. He was also a member of rap group Niche Fam, with fellow rappers Inseezy (formally known as Insane), Jin Tau and RnB singer Masandi, who went on to sign a recording contract with national South African urban label, CashtimeLife. He later formed Durban hip hop supergroup, AV Gang (often called 031 Avengers) along with Insane, Champ, HCL and Breeze. Each member of AV Gang forged a profile for themselves in Durban rap as a solo artist, but their seminal projects, 031 Avengers and E.P.I.C EP served to get them attention on the scene nationally. The self styled group got the name AV Gang from each member drawing comparisons with members of the Marvel Comics group, The Avengers. The name 031 Avengers alludes to the area code of the group’s home city, Durban. The songs released with the 031 Avengers between 2015 and 2016 as well as their Epic EP gave the group a profile boost which allowed them to tour beyond their home city of Durban in late 2016. His most recent project as a solo artist is #IAmMX and was released in 2015. MX (25) from Durban,KZN South Africa.Niche Fam member has released his first solo debut project titled #IAMXep, he is an artist who sonically illustrates his life experiences as an observant introvert from Durban. Available across social media @MXsouthafrica ; The project features fellow Durban artist such as Masandi (CashtimeLife), NastyC ,Aewon Wolf,Lwansta..etc & worked with producers TaylorMadeBeatz,Gemini Major (Family Tree) and Champ. Initially uploading it for free on the Internet, the Mixtape enjoyed 10,000 downloads. Gwambe took the Mixtape down after it reached 10,000 downloads and still managed to sell 500 “out of the trunk”. Early Life Gwambe was born in Eshowe of KwaZulu Natal Province in South Africa. During the course of his childhood, he lived in various places around South Africa including Empangeni, Johannesburg, and Cape Town. Gwambe first learnt of his abilities entertainment through school dramas and talent shows he would regularly participate in. It was through poetry and stage performance that he got into rap and recorded his first demo at the age of 15. “I remember in Grade 7 being part of talent shows, and learning songs by pausing the CD and writing it out memorising the lyrics and performing. I then got a recorder that allowed me to record on empty TDK cassettes. I use to record shows like Kamza&#39;s The Essence, Tbo Touch Rhyme and Reason and would obviously listen to those shows until the battery died,” said Gwambe. During his high school years at Westville Boys High School in Durban, Gwambe met with rapper Aewon Wolf (Arnold Phillips) and Sketchy Bongo (Yuvir Pillay) through a “hip hop club”. During this time he got to meet members of SA rap group Skwatta Kamp and Zola when his father worked as their driver while they were in town.

Career Gwambe’s career was poised for takeoff when he enrolled at Durban University of Technology to study graphic design. It was at this point that he began to record at length with Inseezy, Jin Tau and Masandi, with him he would later form Niche Fam. Around 2015, Gwambe teamed up with Inseezy, HCL, Champ and Breeze to form Durban supergroup 031 Avengers. The group gained attention from the broader South African hip hop community through songs such as News, KwaShuba and their own freestyle to Cassper Nyovest’s 2015 single Le Mpitse. Even after graduating from Durban University of Technology with a National Diploma in Graphic Design, MX continued with his hip hop career and has also ventured into video production. Influences Amongst his central musical influences, Gwambe lists both South African and international hip hop artists amongst those who influenced him to consider a rap career. He has also cited them as the inspiration for much of his technical delivery. “My earliest conscious influences are Nas, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Big Pun, and Eminem. I appreciated technical aspect of writing, so it made sense for me to look into projects by lyricist such as Elzhi, Crooked I, Nino Bless and Kinglos,” Gwambe said. However, Gwambe also cites South African Kwaito artists including Zola, Mapaputsi and H2O as major influences in his career. Through his father, he also discovered African American Soul as well as Rnb artist such as the Isley Brothers, George Benson and Teddy Pendergrass.
