NEWTONEZ
Newtonez was born Cebo Percy Manqele in Esikhawini in KwaZulu Natal South Africa. Having grown up in a township and the rural Obanjeni, the love for traditional and modern music grew tremendously. Throughout his life, Newtonez has always been fascinated by sound and how the world is represented through the ears of others. Naturally, he was drawn to sound manipulation. The interest was cultivated during his teenage years and further developed when he opted to take Music Production and Deejaying. After completing, Newtonez delved even more into his music practice, which involved township and rural ordinary life.
