Bio
Tshepang “Rambo” Ramoba began his drumming career during a high school detention session. One day the detention teacher was absent and the detainees were sent to the contemporary music after school class. Ever the showman, Ramoba went over to the drum-kit and started banging away in an effort to rile the temper of his detainers only to have his remaining detention sessions turned into contemporary music lessons by the school principal. He later studied toward a diploma in African Music and Jazz at FUBA and also completed a diploma in sound engineering from the same institution. Ramoba abandoned his post graduate music studies at TUT when his band BLK JKS embarked on their first world tour. Career highlights include being voted “Best Musician” by Billboard at the SXSW festival in Texas, Winning the SAMA for “Best Alternative” album as a part of BLK JKS and doing a collaborative performance with Alicia Keys for the world cup opening concert. Though no collaboration comes close to playing with The Roots alongside drummer Questlove. In addition to being the vocalist and drummer for altenative rock band BLK JKS Ramoba is also a producer, music supervisor for films and also composes new music specific to the brief for films and commercials.
