From a passionate singer to an aspiring business man.. With no musical back grounds from his family, he became one of the most passionate singers hailing all the way from the city of Polokwane in Limpopo to the City of Joburg.
Mahlatze "Vokal" Matjie started singing in church at the age of 14 and performed at most of the community events, schools and weddings. His passion grew when he sang at the funeral of his late father at the age of 17 from a song (I love you Daddy) by Ricardo and Music has since then became the biggest part of his life as that made him realise that his singing was his calling.
He moved to Joburg to study a Diploma in Civil Engineering in 2001 after matriculating from Mohlakaneng high School. In his studying, he auditioned in acting in 2002 and got a part as a lead character in the Musical Play called Livitup with a fellow actress Khanyi Mbau a now S.A Celebrity where he made his first appearance on television on a show called Morning live and the play went on for a year where it got performed at the Johannesburg Nelson Mandela Civic Theatre.
Television has then became a part of his everyday life when he entered Coca Cola Pop Star for 2004 and made it to be selected one of the top 20 male singers in South Africa and the 34 year old was then known as “the guy with a guitar”. The very same year he performed around in Johannesburg as a solo artist until he formed a group called MUZO on the 15th October 2004. The group came with a unique style in the music industry from the dress code which he incorporated and the Pedi lyrics which they performed unsigned with the great Music icons in the industry until they met with their producer and mentor Selaelo Selota, the well known guitarist, producer and composer. MUZO released their debut album a year later on the same date of the 15th October 2005 and the launch made a huge success to be covered by television shows such as Selimathunzi, Afro Cafe, and Morning live.
Mahlatze has performed with MUZO all over South Africa and the neighbouring country Swaziland and has been on television shows such as (Yo Tv, Afro Cafe, Selimathunzi, Morning Edition, Morning Live, Backstage, All You Need Is Love, Channel O, Gospel Time, and most of the National and Community Radio Stations), till 2006 when the group restructured its members but he remained the core of the group as he was the founder. MUZO LEGACY was then an idea of a company to be formed as to be a drive behind MUZO as a group to carry the LEGACY of the Music and fashion sense that MUZO started.
