Long Bio:
Hezron trained with the classical method before studying a Diploma in Jazz at Durban University of Technology which was the incubation ground for Grammy award winning artists like Black Coffee and Zakes Bantwini .
Questioning why the violin should only fall into a specific genre of classical or jazz, Hezron began to work with other alternative acts to increase his ability and skills to accompany various artists in music genres like Folk, Electronic, Rock, Pop, Psychedelic and Blues music.
It was in the thriving music scene of London where he spent five years performing with local bands and touring Great Britain and Spain that he became a recording artist. Hezron began to push the musical boundaries that are generally imposed on the violin and he learnt many new techniques. He began practicing and performing relentlessly, jamming with any bands that were looking for a violinist to join them. In 2015, Hezron released his debut solo album The Fallacy of Composition and went onto release Dream Sound (2018) and Heads Or Tails (2020) Texture (2021) Heads or Tails B-Sides (2022)
