WINDHOEK-A trio of talented young multi-genre singers of Bravo-B, James 10 and Y-Boy, who founded the Brave Gang music label in 2017, are doing well, and currently taking the music industry by storm with their music.
Although each member on the label has been doing their own music over the past years, this week they announced that they are going to release their debut collaboration album soon, which promises to take over the industry. All members have been close friends since their childhood, and decided to start a music label after realising their dream for music and singing talents at a tender age. They are all born and raised in the small town of Ongwediva, in the Oshana region.
Although the upcoming album still does not have a title, many songs are in their final stage. “Currently we are busy putting in work so to market our music so that it will be known internationally before the release of the album,” says Bravo-B. .James 10 adds that this is going to be a surprise album, and most of the song will be in the Afro-pop genre.
