More than 10 years in the music industry has taught Jan Manthose (39) from Thokoza, who performs under the stage name Mr Miller, many things.<\/p>\n

This journey has influenced his new music, which he recently shared with Germiston audiences during a promotional tour.<\/p>

\u201cMy music is a mix of house and qhom and features piano melodies,\u201d said Manthose when he visited the GCN recently.<\/p>\n

Manthose, who is originally from Limpopo, studied sound engineering and music after school, and though he now works as a salesman his passion never subsided.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe street vibe in both Limpopo and Thokoza has influenced my music,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was the music I grew up listening to and feel most comfortable with.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut with my music, I have taken this vibe and added some exciting new elements that people have never heard before and may not expect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manthose performed at Elipse in the Germiston CBD and Sox Place in Buhle Park over the Valentine\u2019s Day weekend, treating audiences to a taste of his new singles, Opakile and Grooviest Revolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpakile is a love song while Grooviest Revolution is something to groove to,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

These singles will be available for download on iTunes, Spotify and Deezer in March.<\/p>\n

Manthose\u2019s musical journey is far from finished for the year as he has challenged himself to record and release his first full album.<\/p>\n

The album, titled Mobile Jukebox Volume 1, will be released in September.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past I have only ever released singles,\u201d Manthose explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of work involved in putting the album together and I am in studio almost every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I don\u2019t mind, music is my life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will even get out of bed in the early hours of the morning to go and do a recording, as soon as a melody or idea hits I have to explore it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manthose can be found on Facebook by searching Mr MillerSA.<\/p>\n
