Trenton and Free Radical

BIO

Trenton and Free Radical is a South African four-member music band based in Cape Town. The musical outfit is a partnership between Birch and writing collaborator Marco Wielander. Raised in Ibiza in Cape Town, Marco is a studious musician who is never without his guitar; having played with the likes of Roots Manuva and Killa Kella, he's developed unique techniques for laying down tracks, sampling, and layering, giving their music a distinctively individual character.

Their group's music sound is seductive, acoustic and urban. Their songs have the energy and impact of anthems. Free Radical is known for delivering honest beats although there are diverse influences, including hip-hop and electro. The result is sufficiently distinctive and edgy to evoke a sense of being unique, avoiding tired genre labels. Theirs is a contemporary African sound with universal appeal, and the muscle to unite divergent tastes. It's revolutionary music geared to ignite dance-floors while exploding our thinking.

The ensemble has released singles such as ‘Sunless Sundays’ (2009), ‘Barefoot Hope’ (2010), ‘Mr. Mandela’ (2010) and ‘Tomorrows Day’ (2011). In 2016, they released
a single titled '‘No Ceiling’ and were writing and recording a new album.
