Story
A life in sound
Meet Solomon Mathipa-a vibrant 23-year-old creative from Soweto, affectionately known as "The Duke of Stellies" among his peers. A recent graduate from Stellenbosch University with a Bachelor's degree in Drama and Theatre Studies, Solomon brings both stage presence and musical depth into everything he does. With 15 years of experience as a violinist, his journey began at the Buskaid Soweto Music School and Ensemble, where he developed a strong foundation in classical music. He is also a member of the Cape Town Youth Philharmonic Orchestra, continuing to refine his craft at a high level. During his time at Stellenbosch University's Conservatoire of Music, he further explored violin performance and choral conducting-adding even more layers to his artistry. Grounded, expressive, and deeply committed to his craft, Solomon is one of the many voices shaping the sound and spirit of MAHUBO, a Sowetan music group that is currently taking the music scene by storm.
