1. Why the name Rhythm Soul?
The name came to us just like many great inventions, by just rumbling words and Rhythm Soul came about. We chose it because, “Rhythm Soul” is a mixture of Rhythm (beat of the music) and the human Soul, because the “Rhythm of the music” determines the emotion of a person, some brings joy to the soul, some sadness, some love, some excitement, etc.

2.Who are the members?
There are three members in the group, Nhlanhla Joseph Maseli (AKA Jay Roux), Tshepo Hillary Setuke (AKA Emperor Of Deep), both producers/deejays in the group. And the 3rd member is Paul Brown Masenya (AKA Masenya) who is a vocalist/songwriter in the group.
