Mthunzi’s musical journey began when he was working as a lecturer the Transkei Education department. Wanting to pursue music as a career, he got his big break when Blue Mountain Records, an international label, recruited him as an in-house producer, songwriter and vocal arranger.
This saw him work with numerous prominent names in the music industry including Kelly Price, Melonie Daniels, Lynnette Hawkins-Stephens, and Valerie Boyd, to name a few.
Following his time with Blue Mountain Records, Mthunzi returned to South Africa where he worked as a music producer and announcer for SABC Radio Zulu.
