For cultural and creative practitioners and organisations operating in southern Africa, access to funding remains a major challenge. The COVID-19 pandemic has also had a massive impact on government policy, spending and the economy in general, and has seen spending on culture being moved further down the list of priorities. Further, the cultural and creative industries repeatedly cite four main areas where investment is needed for growth, which are increased visibility, mobility including access to new markets, finance and support structures.

BIO

He is no overnight success, Neo Molokoane better known as T.VIZION has toiled as an artist and producer throughout the years. The well- known talent has cemented himself in the ever demanding hip hop industry becoming popular through his craft and workmanship.
Groomed by the humble streets of Ndofaya in Soweto, the award winning artist formerly known as Neo Beats experienced a traumatic incident that changed his life drastically.

Neo was involved in a near-death accident and sadly lost his eye as a result and growing up, he was a victim of being bullied and later had to undergo an operation to improve his vision and boost his confidence. Little did he know that his infamous lazy eye, became a stepping stone and trademark for his blossoming career in music.The life changing experience brought about the transition from his old stage name to T.VIZION who is now deemed an artist who is all about creating a sense of freedom through sonic inspired beats.

Emboldened by his popularity and number of connections, T.VIZION’s career has seen him surrounded by a cast of high-profile associates including hip hop giants Reason and radio producer and music extraordinaire DJ Zan-D to name a few. Soon after bagging the "BEST MIXTAPE OF THE YEAR” award in 2012 at the South African Hip Hop Awards, T.VIZION saw it fitting to expand his talents by introducing BACKYARD FACTORY MEDIA, a boutique hub specialising in audio and visual production, artist management and digital marketing, to mention a few.

Soon after becoming the first independent artist signed to his own recording label, BYF Media label, T.VIZION’s future plans include dominating the hip hop and media space through his up and coming music and business projects. Today, T.Vizion is solely focused on a new and exciting 4-track EP featuring world renowned Emtee and Soweto based artist, Kay-E.

The project is released through BYF Media label, and will drop on Friday, July 30 2021 across all streaming platforms.
"In The Morning" is the first track from the EP and it will be shared to the world, with an online marketing campaign to creating awareness for the latest offering.
