More on 1st Project....
Since 1999 1st Project have performed over 1000
shows in over 10 different countries and have been
publicized in over 50 media spots, making them the
most experienced and popular drumming act in South
Africa.
Having been based in Johannesburg since the 1st
Project started, a team has now also been
established in Cape Town due to the high demand for
1st Project performances, making it more convenient
for clients on the coast!
Keeping to the rocking style of 1st Project
entertainment, the group involves the best drummers
that Cape Town has to offer - each member an expert
in his field of percussion.
Origin and inspiration: All the members of 1st
Project were matriculants of The National School of
the Arts where they all received full colours in
music for a show that they choreographed. That was
where they met, they originally started it as a
project to earn some extra marks at music school, it
slowly grew into something that South Africa had
never seen.
Before they knew it they started being used for
anything from clubs and festivals to corporate
functions. Then they started trying odd
"instruments" such as brooms, dustbins, bottles,
road signs, matchboxes, cane sticks, shoes and many
more into the show.

Kevin Dike

Shannon Ellinas
