Bio
Playful Soul - a brand of R&B/jazz/soul-flavoured music with cheeky inflections.
Pebbles’ debut album, titled as such, amplifies this concept, carrying sometimes melancholy subject matter with unlikely yet effective nonchalance. The album deals mostly, but not exclusively, with matters of the heart. She Is, for example, is the story of a woman who remains nameless and faceless by virtue of her being a celebrity’s lover. Emandulo, confronts the issue of identity from a different perspective, bemoaning the loss of cultural values prescribed by our ancestors. Producers Tongo, Nyambz and Jerah made the 12 gorgeous melodies that make up Playful Soul. Simply put by the singer herself, ‘there is nothing out there like it.’
About
Yes, Pebbles is my real name... my gran loved the flintstones (what more can I say?) I guess you could say singing and songwriting are part of my genetic makeup... I was born to sing...plain and simple! Another day, another song, another heartache, another song, another drink, another song, another lover... and so it goes! I draw my inspiration from the pain and beauty of life, so I guess you could say it's art reflecting life, reflecting me...fabulously!Who is she?
In the bigger scheme of things.... I rock!
