About The Music

Personally love most styles of music. Favorite styles: World-music, African and Jazz.

Released an Album "Your Unconditional Love " in 2000. This album was dedicated to God.

Last Album is entitled "Rainbow Music". South Africa has such a lot of different cultures. That is why South Africans are called the Rainbow Nation. The music is the sum of all Alistair's influences.

The solo album he is currently working on will be called "Let There Be Bass!!!"
