Mayhew

If you're wondering where the name Jody Mayhew comes from, you'll find him performing on many stages across South Africa, from restaurants to events, and you might have heard some of his songs on the radio. Jody was born in Pietermaritzburg and grew up in Brits, where he taught himself to play guitar at the age of 15 and first appeared on stage at 18 in a school revue.

Jody boasts eight songs that have already been released on various platforms, with one of his tracks 'Travel the World' reaching the top 3 in an international competition. His first Afrikaans song 'Altyd Somer Saam Met Jou' was released and played on 30 radio stations.

Jody has been performing since 2014 and has a unique style where he takes well-known music and makes it his own. His original songs are beautifully woven into his performances, with a hint of Singer-Songwriter Country feel, alongside his Afrikaans songs that resonate with everyone. Jody has opened for various South African artists, including Arno Carstens, Roan Ash, Francois van Coke, Juan Boucher, and Dozi.

"Seeing each artist’s passion and love for music and the industry is inspiring and creates a sense of gratitude in me for all their work that has paved the way for me to walk today."
