Ambitious Hustle "SIIC"

Its Women's Month And The Person That Came To Mind To Profile For "Ambitious Hustle" Is Founder & Jewelry Designer Of SIIC, Belinda Phofu. An Energetic, Self Driven & Passionate Individual. The Spirit Of Women Empowering Themselves & Motivating Others To Do So, That's What She Stands For.

I Urge Young Ladies To Take A Few Notes From This "Future Leader". Our Youth & Generation Should Aspire & Lead A Lifestyle Like Hers, A Game Changer To Be Precise.

I Get The Chance Too Chill With One Of The Inspiring Young Ladies I Got The Chance Too See Grow.

What Is SIIC For Someone Who Hasn't Heard About It?

SIIC which stands for Style Is Incalculable, is an alternative jewelry brand.

When Did You Start Designing Jewelry

I began making jewelry in 2012, which was the year I had to take a gap year because I couldn't afford to go to varsity. Those of you who have been tired of job hunting will know that it isn't easy.

What Led You Too Start This?

Because I couldn't find a job, at the time making jewelry for me was something I was doing just to keep myself busy. It was only then I noticed that there was a demand for my products that I decided to start selling my piece's to make some pocket money.

I went for the name SIIC because I noticed that whenever people would see my jewelry they always said things like, "aww B. This is so SIIC.

I really loved the ring that the word had to it and so I decided to use it as my brands name.

I'm very sentimental and I wanted it to have meaning,which is where Style Is InCalculable came from.

Because that's what style is, it's Incalculable.

You Were Blessed With The Talent Of Making Jewelry That Is Refined From Recycled Material?

When I first began making jewelry, it wasn't a conscious decision.

I was really bored and I was just looking for something to keep me busy. I'm very good with my hands and I enjoy working with them.

I happened to have picked up a few buttons and wire on the floor and before I knew it. I had made my first ring.

From then onwards I just kept picking things up and creating.

It was also very fun for me to see how creative I could be with a safety pin for example, that rush, helped keep my mind off things.

Let's Go Into Detail About One Of Your Favorite Pieces,, What Inspired That? And Please Take Me Through Production Process.

I think I speak for every designer when I say this. My favorite piece is always the piece I created last. They say that you are only as good as your last work, or something like that. And with that being said I think it makes sense for ones favorite piece to be the last piece I created.

My approach when making my jewelry is not like other designers out there. I don't sketch my piece's for before I make them. I could see something, as simple as a stone, for example. And then get this bright idea and make a bracelet, that is not made from stone's, but the wire that holds pegs together. It sounds weird, I know. But hey, I'm just being myself

What Are The Lows You've Come Across In This Industry?

Not having my families support is the ultimate low.

When your parents sit you down to tell you that they aren't happy with what you've done with your life and the decisions that you've made with regards to your future. It really cuts deep. Most especially when the decisions that they are referring to is you just deciding to take control of your life and follow your dreams.

What Are The Highs Of The Industry?

most people would assume that the ultimate high would be curating Art Is Currency, but honestly it would definitely have to be all the people I've met all my journey, the friendships I've formed. The support I've received from friends and supporters of SIIC, because that's what has carried and that's what continues to carry and motivate me.

 

What Have You Learned As A Young Black Entrepreneur??

If you want something and you're not getting what you want, then create it. It won't be easy, but it'll definitely be worth it.

Too many young people are forever complaining about there not being enough opportunities. If there's one thing I've learnt, complaining doesn't solve anything.

We are all capable.

When Someone Loves What You Do & Would Love To Buy Equity & Grow Your Business, What Would You Do?

If they understand what SIIC stands for and SIIC's overall vision, then I'd definitely be interested in having a meeting to discuss how we'd be able to work together.

Tell Me For How Many Years Have You Been Designing? And Where Do You See Yourself In The Next Coming 5 Years?

It just hit me that in 5 years I'll be 27 …which is 3 year's away from 30 *has heart palpitations * ... Laughs

I've been making jewelry for 4 years but I only started taking things with SIIC seriously, last year. So it's been a year.

I see Art Is Currency being held in parts of Africa as well as other parts of the world. Collaborating with other creatives around the world is definitely something I'll be working towards, and giving other creatives in area's which are disadvantaged an opportunity to showcase their work and grow as artists.

Is It About The Passion, Money Or Fame

It's about the passion, first!

And then the money... Because I gotta eat :)

*Chuckles* People who chase after fame are people who aren't full,as in they are empty/lost. And let's just say, I'm not empty *Smiles*

I Honestly feel that running after fame is the same as seeking doing things to seek validation from other's.

 

Who Is Your Target Market ?

My target market would be creatives /hipsters. People who love abstract things and are not about anything mainstream. aren't afraid of being different and standing out are people who wear my jewelry.

 

What Is Your Mission That You Want To Accomplish Through Designing?

SIIC apart from SIIC being a jewelry brand SIIC is also brand that is believes that Art is a culture and that is about preserving and growing that culture. As well as using that culture to tell stories.

One of the ways in which this is done is by a series of exhibitions that I curate titled, Art Is Currency.

Art Is Currency,is aimed at showcasing how jewelry can be found within all the mediums which fall underneath Art. As well as promoting collaborations amongst creatives and giving young people an opportunity to showcase their work..

The first installment of Art Is Currency took place in January this year at the johannesburg hub in 44Stanely. I collaborated with 10 talented local illustrators, and showcased how jewelry is found with visual art. It was a great success.

The second installment of Art Is Currency will take place in October, and will be centered around breast cancer awareness.

I'll be collaborating with the fashion brand, pilgrim clothing and showcasing how jewelry is found within fashion/clothing.

I'll also be collaborating with "StylaGang" and using clothing and jewellery to educate the youth on breast cancer.

Any Collabs You Have Done With Other Jewelers You've Worked With?

I haven't collaborated with any jewelers as yet,but it's definitely something I've been working towards doing. My focus has been more stepping outside the jewelry box and collaborating with people who aren't jewelers. it's important to step outside the box and be different.

As A Young Inspiring Woman, Tell Me What Is "Feminism" And What Do You Think About It?

I've noticed that feminism is a very touchy topic, Amongst females especially.

People have made being a feminist out to seem like a bad thing, and it's not. For a very long time I was afraid of admitting that I was a feminist, let alone speaking up on issues that affect us as women,because I was afraid of what people would think, since feminism hasn't necessarily been given good connotations to it by society.

The other day "I put up a status on Facebook the other day about this.

And I said that what people need to understand is that being a feminist does not means that you hate men. In fact it's got nothing to do with hating men."

feminism is a set of ideals /beliefs /movements which is basically aimed at fighting for equal social,political, economic,cultural, rights for women.

If anything, I'm a huge advocate of women recognizing their worth and understanding and believing that as a women your body isn't the only thing that you have to offer. WE AREN'T OBJECTS

Most of the time women talk about how men should stop objecting them but then they turn around and objecting themselves without even realizing it. That's how deep it is. We don't even realize how the system has and still doesn't affect us.

Besides Designing, How Can You Reach Out Too Women And Educate Them About Daily Issues They Face?

I've decided to use social media as tool to educate women.

I remember an incident that happened when I was in grade 5 and my mom had sent me to buy bread and as I walking down the street these boys in my neighborhood who were sitting across the street, started throwing stones at me and shouting out things like, "hey Belinda, why are you so ugly"

incidents like that were why I was very insecure growing up. I hated my smile the most.

Then in grade 11 I decided to do something about my in securities.
I started a blog, called, "True Beauty. now ostracized

The blog was aimed at getting women to see their worth. And understand that beauty is subjective.

And it honestly did help me see my beauty and love myself. Getting back to the blog is something that I've actually been considering.

I'm A Fan Of Your Work Rite? Where Can I Get Linked Up With Your It?

People can purchase my piece's at a store called Republic of Recycle which is in 27boxes in Meliville.

Ambitious Hustle "KB Makabaza"

When Did You Start Doing Music

We pride ourselves in our professionalism, quality, long term relationships, solutions, exceptional service and values. KB Makabaza is a hip hop artist born and bred in Saulsville/Attridgeville, a small township in the mid-west of Pretoria. He is a rapper, song writer/composer above all an artist on his own and by far he has been exceptional.

Growing up as a poet, KB Makabaza constructed his writing skill through Poetry and Cyphers after being introduced to the Hip-Hop game during the year 2010 by Lindile Ndlala better known as Blade Chicano an artist/Producer from the coast of Cape Town who is part of a Saulsville recording stable called C-Max. Currently KB Makabaza is under the wing of Tumelo Mokoka (Lets Rock U Entertainment) as his manager, who identified his talents during a music festival in 2012

What Led You Too Start This

At the age of 16 KB Makabaza started as a local Dj around his township and at times go to gigs requesting a slot or sit in with well known Dj’s from his township and around. Along the years it seemed as turntables were not the only thing KB Makabaza fell in love with, with his poetical and writing skill he looked forward to bringing words to life by putting his experience on paper. (Music-Composition). KB Makabaza started recording under C-Max Records, led by Gregory Ledwaba better known as “Sir Greg” who helped KB Makabaza become superior from just being a rapper with lyrics to musician with an influential sound. Greatly inspired by his surroundings which ranges from current affairs in his hometown, life experiences and a whole lot of stories people tell on a daily basis. KB Makabaza carries his expertise into a powerful musical fuse of amazement due to the energy he brings during his performance.

You Are Blessed With Reaching People Through What You Put On Pen & Paper, Organizations Are Even Recognizing Your Efforts,,, Tell Me More About That?

its actually a good thing and like you said,its all blessings. You find that at some point people don't wanna dance but listen and learn. Most of the organizations that I've worked wit or working with to date are NGO's and NPO's and that mainly deals with those less privileged. Currently working with an organization called XAVERI which is in partnership with the UNCHR as a World Refugee Ambassador. To most organizations I work with its more or less me being a Lecturer and advising the youth through music. What Are The Lows You've Come Across In This Industry?

As an artist who emerged from a "Kasi" that's known for its bad ways I found it hard doing music where else no one takes you serious. Its either you sell or smoke "Nyaope" or end up as a taxi Driver. It makes you feel so away from people because you doing music from the heart. I've been rejected by Companies saying I should change how I rap. As an artist nothing is as bad as being told you not Good enough. Till someone takes you under their wing and show how good you are. That's as low as it gets.

What Are The Highs Of The Industry?

Being able to reach out to people who don't know you. Having to appreciate the struggles of others and not looking down on them. Got so many opportunities like doing Tours with Kwaito legends. As artists we face different types of Highs and Lows. I took a different type of HIGH. Lol. But so far it hasn't been an easy path.

What If A Record Company Wants To Sign You?

I really find it hard to sign to a company. Thing is that a contract can change how you sound,record companies even change how you write. Remember,them coming to you was for a reason. At times the reason might be to destroy you. Take for example you're a rapper who sounds like one of the top S.A hip hop artists difference being you more good. Chances the recording company that artist is under,might sign you not to build you but to delay you. To kill you before you taking the other one's shine. To me its loyalty above paper. So let's work and see progress before I sign. On That Note About Being Signed, Is There Any Deals You Got By Far? Any Promising Signing?

Yes I have been offered deals but I always say NO. Its not because I don't want too. I just don't believe in doing what someone else wants. I don't wanna make deals with the devil but hey at some point you do it unaware. I can't say anything yet but things are looking promising.

Is It About The Passion, Money Or Fame

LOL. To me its honestly about the passion I have for music. Yes I do want the money,yes it brings fame as well but what you do it for its more important. "The Fame,The Fortune,The need to feel importance of existence as long as the world is in Orbit". Fame and Money will follow after.

I Know That You're A Talented Young Being,, Besides Music, What Else Are You Up Too?

I'm actually looking at acting as well. Getting into advertising too. Most of all I'm planning on starting few community projects that's gonna also create opportunities for the youth. The main focus is to keep the kids out the streets. Keep them busy with something that will draw them away from negative surroundings. My wish is to see my community doing something sustainable. I'm also working as an Project Manager for an NGO called "Aga Sechaba" that helps people get 2nd chances in life.

Please Describe Your Sound?

I'd say my sound is more Phelistic Motswako. Lol I call it that because its different. It differs from other sounds 1stly with how I deliver. I'm from Phelindaba also known as "Atteridgeville" and you know we even speak different. Lol others would say we speak weird. Yes, if you can remember "JR",that's the same sound but done differently.

Your Sound Is Fresh And Relates To An Average Joe From Kasi Aka The "Township". Tell Me Who Produces Your Stuff?

I've worked with different producers from and outside the Hood. Mostly I'm on C-MAX production or on a Parkanouva Production,Parkanouva has been working wit known artists so at some point I get challenged by his sound because its that New age sound. I prefer getting different feels.

What Is The Targeted Market You Looking At?

Taught one. With the kind of msg I spread I'm looking at having everyone as my target. From kids to adults. Recently I've been approached by people I didn't think they listen to my music because of the age gap. So that also shows that I don't do it for kids. I make music for everyone. I don't have a specific target Market. I'm for everything but not disappointing.

What Is Your Mission You Want To Accomplish Via Your Music?

I wanna see my music change the world. I'd love to see more artists being real to themselves. I wanna make people ask believe in themselves more. I wanna build someone and not break them. I want kids to express themselves by writing more. I wanna see the violence come to an end and we write scriptures of peace for we won't know what tomorrow holds. So the mission is to better the life of a growing child.

Any Collabs You Have Done?

KB Makabaza is currently working on his album called 1st Chapter (The Genesis) produced by Chicano, Sir Greg, Parkanouva, HOD & DJ Spelete (Both from Bonsai Entertainment), and he is currently under the mentorship of the legendary Kwaito musician Bonginkosi“Zola”Dlamini of Zola7 Media…Zola saw KB Makabaza perform and immediately liked his work/craft. His 1st single "Ka Nkane“ created a buzz topping charts for numerous weeks giving him credibility in the local and other parts of South Africa followed by another easy but thumping single (Live and Let Live) feat. Bonezitto and ended up getting chosen for #JagermeisterBackTheArtist2014 competition and #JackDanielsTalentScout

I've done collabs with Zola7,Mxolisi Majozi better known as ZuluBoy,I've worked with Vambos who worked with Ghetto Ruff but currently works with 999. I've been featured on a track that's soon to be released by an Amsterdam DJ,DJ Pascal. My latest hit single titled Ayashis'Amateki where I feature the talented Orapeleng Kola known as Oracle V.P. I also got an opportunity to collab with F-eezy,Pardon and SK.

Where Do You See Your Music In The Next Coming 5 Years

In the next coming 5 years I see my music being used as sound tracks to few of the biggest television and Film productions. I see my music getting me Tours all over africa and Abroad. I see my music being used as the new study to medicine.

"KB Makabaza" Interview By "Tshwane Tv"

Cassper Plans On Going GOLD In A Day & Platinum In A Month!!!!!

He says that his upcoming second album “Refiloe”, will drop on the same day – 31 October – as his latest venture to fill up the Ticketpro Dome, Cassper just revealed how buying a concert ticket will get him a step closer to his dream of going gold in a day and platinum in a month.

In South Africa going gold means that an artist has sold 20 000 copies. Likewise, an artist needs to have shipped 40 000 units in order to go platinum. The Ticketpro Dome has a seating capacity of approximately 19 000.

“I consider myself as the best to ever do it so I always want to beat my last project. This new project is 10 times better than my last project. From the design of album cover that I worked hard on with our new partner @wtfis8thave and the story it tells to the actual content, the raps and the release.”

“For instance, everyone who buys a ticket to #FillUpTheDome gets an album on entry. After we sell 20 000 tickets it would mean that we would go gold first day of release, putting us in a great position to go Platinum in a month. So buy your tickets ASAP and be the first one to get a hold of my new album. Join us as we make history!!! #NewRules #MamaImadeIt”

Ambitious Hustle "Bryne Schumacher"

Today I Get The Chance Too Chill With One Of GP's Very Own Deep House Producer "Tebogo Bryne Schumacher" Aka "Bryne Schumacher". A Talented Person He Is. When I Listen To His Productions "Afro Deep" As They Refer Too, It Takes Me Away, Euphoria Best Fits The Feeling.
I'm Not A House Lover But Surely I Can Do With Some Of What "Schumacher" Produces. His Roughness With African Elements And A Jazzy Feel Too His latest  Production "I Believe In Love" Featuring Yours Truly (ME) , Has Made Me See House Music In A Different View, I Love It.
We Merged Forces & Have Something Crazy For You, Stay Tuned.

When Did You Start Producing Music?

I started producing music from 2007 while I was in highschool. I got introduced to production software by a friend of mine whom I shared the same interests & love for music 

What Led You Too Start This?

I've always had a passion for music, since growing up I was a dancer from a very young age and saw myself creating and dancing to my own sounds one day.

What Are The Lows You've Come Across In This Industry?

There are many setbacks in the industry, especially when it comes to doing features and collaborations, if you are not well known, then no one wants to work with you even if your work is on point, Oh just to push your work out there, they would rather work with someone who is already established. So finding a platform is very difficult.

What Are The Highs Of The Industry?

Once you get yourself out there and people start noticing you, everyone will want to mess with you and therefore you will end up being surrounded by a lot of experience. Experience which will change how you used to view the industry and how you will view it going forward.

What If A Record Company Wants To Sign You?

When a record company wants to sign, I ask myself questions: which record company is this? is my sound the type of sound they market, are they well established?, why are they interested in my sound? being with this record company going to grow my sound and me as an artist? What are they offering on their contract. Am I going to be comfortable working with them or not? Then if I can gladly answer those questions with no doubt then I will consider it.

On That Note About Being Signed, Is There Any Deals You Got By Far? Any Promising Signing?

Well for now I am still negotiating with a label which I am intending on releasing an EP with soon but I would not want to sign with them because I do not want to see myself working with a label for a long period of time due to the fact that I am also in the process of establishing my own label. So I am only willing to release with them and not become one of their artists.

Wow Levels, Independence Always Win. Any Details About Your Label?

I do not want to reveal much about my label but all I can say is that, I am looking to discover a lot of talent which I have spotted around me but did not have the power to do much about it.

Is It Finance? Time? Or Accurate Planing?

Well I wouldn't want To promise young talent dreams that I won't be able to deliver. So in the space of well Established labels that is out there, it is then I can start to work with other talented individuals 

Is It About The Passion, Money Or Fame ?

I would say its all about the passion, but then again since the process of producing and distributing music involves money, then it is also about the money, because "the present hit, needs to make money in order to give birth to the next hit". Engineers, marketing, producers and vocalists need to be paid at the end of the day. But what keeps me going is the passion. Fame is something that I do not look forward to because I've seen what it has done to many people in this industry but I cant say I am not ready, if its going to come my way then I am very well prepared for it, I will not make a lot of mistakes which have been made by artists in the industry.

Please Describe Your Sound?

My genre Is House music and the sound is very broad because I cater for most types of listeners. If you are into broken beats then there's something for you, if you are into the deeper side then there's also something for you, for the afro tech or afro deep heads there's something for you too and if you are into the chilled out or lounge section to relax your soul then there's also something for you too, so my sound is very complex.

What Is The Targeted Market You Looking At?

I mostly market listeners who are into vocal, chilled out and funky deep house music, and so I believe that most of the youth and the more matured individuals are most likely to crunch into my sound. And for the older generation which is not into drums and break beats then my music also caters for them too. So when I create my sound I concentrate mostly on people who listen with their soul and not their ears, and that is why my sound is not commercial.

Any Collabs You Have Done?

I have not collaborated much with many producers but I have been working with producers and artists that I started with in the music industry, mainly the likes of Kayladeep and Deeptone, and I have done features with other up coming artists, like I have mentioned before that I am very much interested in discovering talent and want to give up coming artists a platform since I understand very well how hard it is to get a breakthrough in the industry.

Where Do You See Your Music In The Next Coming 5 Years

I see my music still being played and remixed through out the country and abroad because my sound is very broad and is most likely to remain in peoples hearts for a long time, this due to the fact that my sound is very well planned.

I'm A Fan Rite? Where Can I Get Linked Up With Your Music?

If you are a fan and you want to get a hold of my music you will have to wait till this coming summer since I have been working on a few pieces that will be released on most online stores like Traxsource, Itunes, tunecore etc. And will also be played on most radio stations around the country. Just to mentioned one, look out for Enigma, an EP which will include remixes by myself, Kayladeep and Deeptone which is gon' be my first official release.

If I Wanna Follow Your Work Where Do I Get Linked Up?

I Wrote You A Letter.

Dear Friend I Was Sitting In The Dark, Recalling On The Times We Had Together,,Moments Of Bliss, Moments of sadness & misunderstandings. A Moment That Would Most Likely Happen Anytime Soon, Maybe In Our Next Life Time. I'm Not Trying To Question The Current Feels That Flow Between Us,, Its part of growth. Change is inevitable. When things happen, know that its always for the best, its a lesson that comes with its dues. From what you didn't know, too what you learned. What inspired me to write this, is two different elements that were enforced by emotion and fear of mediocre, called "Love" and "Leaving". It has no sorts of relevance, I know, But Hear My Story Out. This past weekend, I & my friends were debating About Understanding the phrase "I Love You So Much Too Let You Go", A though one but a battle, more like a clear sight about Getting HURT Or Preventing It From Happening. I wrote you a letter day after you went out of your way to break this companion. you went and made me a fool, damn it looked like I was desperate and you were the one who asked me to keep it on a "Need To Know Base". Now I see you trying to tear me apart, yourself as well in the process. Will You survive with all the negatives you invited in your life ? What about the positive? Where did it flow too? Not too say I know what's good & what's not, but at least I know I was genuine. A catch. Based on the topic we had, I came to understand that "Letting Someone Go" Is simply protecting thyself from carrying stagnant pain, understanding that each and everyone of us have our own destinies, differently in their own way. And I understand that if I stay in denial & keep forgiving you rather than myself, it means I don't value my worth even more. Love is durable, Whether its family, couples or friendship, It has the ability to withstand the damage and still has a way of mending its own faults. People have a way of questioning how past & present situations make one feel, Like "Do you take your ex as your enemy? (Just cause things didn't workout) or one of your good friend? (cause somehow there was a point you guys shared "Something Beautiful"). Tricky, I Know. I wrote you a letter, just after I got "Happiness" in my life, In my mother tongue its called "Ntsako". after that It made sense to me that you don't go out looking for it, It finds you. It hits home when you notice that the key too love Is happiness. Sharing all the pros & cons, the weaks and strengths, it starts there, when the other party is transparent & you don't have too look behind your back everytime you walk away. Still On that note, loving some is all about the feeling not the showing. Yours Sincerely "Bestie" Ofentse Sean Lewis
