SA se gewilde briljante sanger–liedjieskrywer

Singer–songwriter Matthew Mole made chart history as the first South African artist to enter the iTunes SA charts at #1 on the first day of releasing his debut album ‘The Home We Built’. This talented and unassuming multi-SAMA and MK awards nominee chatted to AWSUM News about his music, life and future aspirations.

AWSUM Celebrity Interview WIN!!! WIN!!! WIN!!!

Matthew Mole merch hamper up for grabs!

Q What are your future career dreams? What is the one thing you would really like to achieve?

One lucky fan can win both Matthew’s CDs, as well as a branded T-shirt!

Send your name and phone number to info@tiemedia.co.za with MATTHEW in the subject line.

A I want to take it as far as I can, and that being the rest of the world. I would really just love to be able to put on really good shows all over the world, and allow people to feel something different (hope) at these shows.

Q What do you enjoy doing in leisure free time (if there is such a thing)?

Q Just about the whole of South Africa heard the iTunes news when ‘The Home We Built’ was released. Did you expect this success? How did it feel to be an overnight sensation?

A It was an enormous honour to kick things off with such a buzz. I’m just incredibly grateful that people enjoyed my music enough to get the album to do such a thing!

Q What was your journey to become a professional musician? Have you been a musician since childhood?

A I started playing guitar when I was 11. My Dad taught me. I played in a few school concerts growing up, but I just played for fun. After school I would write songs then record them and put them online. Somehow that slowly progressed to the release of my debut album and things because very official from then on.

A There is definitely such a thing. As long as I get to spend quality time with my wife, Jess, then I’m happy! I’ve recently taken up boxing training and been completely sucked in, I love it.

Q What is your advice for a first romantic date? Do first impressions count?

A They definitely do count. You can always make up for something, but first impressions are important. I like to do something fun and unexpected. When I took Jess on our first date, we flew to Durban for the day and did the bungee jump at Moses Mabhida Stadium then went for a picnic. It was hectic, but luckily Jess loved it.

Q What is your favourite food? Movie? Song?

A Food: chicken fried rice. Movie: The Lion King. Song: New York, New York

by Frank Sinatra.

Q What role does social media play in your career?

Q What inspires you creatively and personally? Who are ‘your people’?

My family. The people close to me will always inspire me personally.

Creatively, anything really, when I see something that intrigues me, I want to know more and more.

A It’s huge. The engagement you have with your followers is the most important thing; they are the ones that give you your career. At the same time, being a huge social media icon does not make you a better musician – they are two different parts that can work together if done the right way.

Q What is in the pipeline for 2018?

Q Tell us a bit about your family and upbringing.

A They have always been the inspiration behind my songwriting. I’ve always been raised with more love and support than I ever could have dreamed of.

A International touring. I will still be around to play shows and release music in South Africa, but I plan to make some strong, intentional steps overseas.

Q What message do you have for our readers (high school kids) about leading a successful life and achieving their dreams?

Q What was the highlight(s) of your career this far?

A I’ve had the honour of playing with some of my favourite bands and playing at some of my favourite venues. To this day, I will always remember the first time I played a show and noticed everyone singing along to the lyrics, that was a show back in 2013 in KZN.

A If you love something, do it and do it well. Work on it hard. Dream big!

You will achieve your goals and your dreams if you work on what you are passionate about and try your best to do it well!

BEACHES, BE STIES AND BI KINIS

FASHION

Sand between your toes and sun lotion on your nose, what more do you need? Pepe Sofianos has sorted all the fun-in-the-sun gear you’ll need to make this the best summer ever.

OK, give it up for the Bieb! He’s never shy when it comes to sporting a trend like this bandana tied low on his forehead like a true biker dude.

Caribbean Tan’s Tan in a Can Instant, R99.95, ain’t no ordinary fake tanner.

The sunless tanning spray gives you a deep even tan like you’ve spent a whole season at the beach already, in only 6-8 hours. Awesome!

If you want glossy golden skin in minutes then Essence Next Stop Summer Airbrush Bronze and Glow Face and Body Spray, R79.95, is a real find. Use it for touch-ups between fake tans or to give yourself that bronzy reality star polish.

Just remember --- these fake tanners are great skin savers but you still need to protect yourself with proper sunscreens applied on top when you’re outside.

I’M LOVING…

…all those gorge denims dolled up with fancy flowers from top to toe.

STRAPPY SWIMWEAR YOU CAN’T TURN YOUR BACK ON

OK girls if you’re looking for something edgy, the big news is backs are in. Check out criss-cross straps, laces and cut-outs to get you noticed in swimsuits and bikinis.

You’ll find loads of back detail on the swimwear racks at Pick ‘n Pay Clothing, Mr Price and Cotton On.

@ PEPE SAYS

Wherever you’re spending summer, there’s only one thing to do……..

Chillax with your besties and wear the kind of gear that lets the sun shine in.

The guys still love their board shorts, this time around in vibey flower prints.

And beachy T’s …

Teen movie actress Bella Thorne snaps up the top trend and does the power walk in her eye-catching flowery denim shorts.

Who doesn’t want to look all bronzed and beautiful? Yeah, yeah, it’s a wellworn cliché but you have to admit…… what a difference it makes! So taking into consideration that being out in the sun is both dangerous and divine, here’s how to get that golden girl glow safely and swiftly. Just spray away and before you know it, you’ll be a poster girl for beaches from Clifton to Maui and Malibu to Bondi and back. Fake tanners are the smart way to go because why bake when you can fake?

Ashleigh Defty, model and reality series star, shows off her best beach babe look without getting her wires crossed, just her straps.

SPRAY DAYS

Band aid

It’s official --- bandanas are back! Keep hotweather hair under control and looking fresh with a unisex, multiuseful bandana. You can wear them anytime and anywhere so long as you can tie one into a foreverfashionable head band.

So go for it!

Maui-inspired T-shirts, R69 each, Pick ‘n Pay Clothing.

Denim does

Board shorts, R169 each from a selection at Pick ‘n Pay Clothing.

Etiketdag Etlike jare gelede is daar besluit om ‘n geleentheid te skep waar die seuns van Paarl Primêre Seunskool sekere vaardighede moes aanleer en bemeester oor hoe om ‘n dame behoorlik te onthaal en spesiaal te laat voel. Nou, 18 jaar later, is die seuns steeds besig om hierdie tradisie voort te sit.

The Grade 4 learners hosted the Etiquette Day. It taught boys how to behave like gentlemen within a formal setting. They learnt how to set a table for a 4-course meal, the wording of invitations and menus, table manners, and of course how to waltz!

This was a real hit with their guest of honour, their mother!

Die seuns is almal netjies geklee in hul skooluniform, terwyl die mammas stylvol aantrek om by die jaarlikse geleentheid te pas. Elke vierde jaar word die Etiketdag in nog groter styl tydens ‘n aandfunksie in die stadsaal aangebied. Dan laat ons behoorlik die koppe draai.

Butterfly House: Skoenboks-projek Op Dinsdag, 31 Oktober het Gimmies ‘n Kerspartytjie vir 120 kindertjies van Butterfly House gehou. Leerders het ‘n sirkustema-toneelstuk vir hulle opgevoer, hulle gesiggies is geverf en daar is behoorlik baljaar op die springkastele.

Ons het hulle met hope eetgoed bederf (burgers, sappies, gebottelde water, kolwyntjies, spookasem, springmielies) en vele meer. Elkeen het ook ‘n skoenboks vol geskenkies ontvang.

Die blydskap en waardering op elke liewe gesiggie maak hiérdie projek vir ons meer as die moeite werd! Graag bedank ons elke Gimmie-ouer, -leerder, -onderwyser en -vriend wat gehelp het om hierdie wonderlike dag moontlik te maak.

Spesiale dank aan jeugleiers Schalk en Yolandi vir hul harde werk.
