Meet Limpopo born mix maestro – Punk Mbedzi

Music is often described as a composition of arpeggios, beats & acoustics etc. combined together to induce a sound that evokes a state of ecstasy, moves your body rhythmically and feeds one’s soul -for Punk Mbedzi, it’s just that, but even more so a way of living, music is his staple diet.

Punk Mbedzi was born and raised in the Garden of Eden – Limpopo Province, city – Polokwane, South Africa on the 5th of February 1993. He began producing phenomenal compositions at the tender age of 16, releasing his first solo project The Roots Are Calling EP (2010).
