Tshepang Ramoba

Tshepang Ramoba is a drummer, vocalist, producer and film music supervisor from Johannesburg South Africa. He is a member of the alternative band BLK JKS

RMBO began his music career at 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. His 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. He has also played alongside The Roots.

Now he has been performing at local show like Fete de la Music, Smoking Dragon etc.
