Nigel the drummer
"If you are looking for a drummer who brings pure energy, rock-solid timing, and a refreshing lack of ego to the rhythm section, look no further. This drummer is already playing with the maturity and precision of someone who has been gigging for decades."

"*Review of JamezJuke – 702 Afternoons Unplugged (12 September)*
It was an absolute pleasure hosting
JamezJuke on our Unplugged session on 702 Afternoons with Relebogile. From the start, he was professional, responsive, and provided all the information we requested promptly. He arrived on time for both his interview and performance, which made the experience seamless and enjoyable.
His acoustic performance was nothing short of soulful and beautiful a true reflection of his artistry and talent. JamezJuke is a gifted young musician with a bright future ahead, and it was wonderful to share his music with our listeners."
