Styled Music is Forever Concert, the event falls on Prez Beats\u2019 birthday, the idea being to give the music heavyweight flowers when he can still smell them.<\/b><\/p>\n

Organiser Thuto Pheto, famously known as Melo, told Time Out: \u201cA lot of our legends only receive that recognition when they have retired or have passed on. We want to show him his recognition while he is still actively churning out hits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Featured artists<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHe has produced major singles for some he has done their entire albums for others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Footprints in the sand<\/b><\/p>\n

Prez Beats has helped many local artists find their voice and release incredible music. As a producer and songwriter, he has helped to create some of the biggest and most beloved musical releases in the country\u2019s music history. Melo observed that most people who have come across Prez Beats know him as a reserved and quiet individual but his personality shines through his music.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we celebrate our music, we often forget that many hands go into its creation,\u201d he said. \u201cThe artist is the talent and main draw, but their creative abilities are enhanced and complemented by the producer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fast Facts:<\/b><\/p>\n
