Morne Zeelie

I was born in Benoni, raised on the East Rand, and grew up to the sounds of Queen, Michael Jackson and David Bowie. (Not quite the norm for Afrikaans primary-school kids at the time) My first 7-single "I want to break free - Queen” 1984.

I matriculated at Heidelberg Volkskool, and as a high school teen, listened to legendary Chris Prior's "Priority Feature" on the then 'Radio 5'.

Chris Prior, Phil Wright and the likes of Leon Economides spurred a deeper interest in music, and so the rest of my taste for rock developed as a matter of course.

After high school, I started Fine Art studies and was introduced to a good friend and music mentor - studio drummer, Peter Auret. Peter further expanded my taste for music on a general, practical, as well as a theoretical level. Jazz and fusion became part of my generally rock dominated CD shelf.

I joined Peter's band 'Jungle Train' as their percussionist. The band was invited for interviews at various radio stations, one of which was to be the station where I landed his first on-air job as a presenter.

10 years on in radio, I currently hold the 19h00 - 23h00 weekday show on Jacaranda 94.2.

I am a fulltime artist, (dayjob).
