Darius is a young aspiring artist, with a great amount of talent, although he has not been able to break into the music industry yet, he is certainly one to watch. He forms a duo with his partner Java and have formed a group known as Blaqpurl, their music can be found on their facebook page, Bedroom Records and on soundcloud, Blaqpurl. His hit single "need you back" is one for the record books.

Gazza, arguably Namibia's greatest artist. He has been on the music scene for as long as one can remember, and not only has he been around, but he has dominated the industry with an iron fist. Gazza owns his own brand, GMP and has been a great success. In the eyes of many he is only rivaled by The Dogg.

The Dogg, it does not take a lot of words to describe this talent, the king of Kwaito music. He has dominated the music industry for many years, picking up several accolades on the way such as Namibian artist of the year, and his talent was even acknowledged by Africa as a continent.

Gal Level, Namibias Diamonds. Second to none in the female music industry in Namibia. They came onto the scene as young girls and took over in the blink of an eye. They have been nominated and won numerous in Namibia as well as in Africa as a whole.

ACE DA BASS is one of Namibia's top Dj's. He started spinning at a very young age and despite the criticism he held onto his dreams and finally managed to break into the industry. He has become a well known figure in the clubbing circles, Djing at almost every club in Windhoek and recently started spinning in Swakopmund. He specialises in Dubstep, electro, moombahton and progressive house. He plans to drop his first album, mid-2013.

Qonja, Namibian music sensation. The reason why Qonja is separated from other musicians is because of his unique style of music. He is one who mixes his culture with music and makes it one. His albums have been blowing up in Namibia and he has recently released his new x mas song which can be downloaded on => www.qonja.com
