MODEL C (ALBUM OUT!!!)

About Me

Model c started as a collaborative project between Kidu and his sister Robyn in 2006. They wanted to work on a project together, coming from very different artistic backgrounds; their diaries became a source of inspiration. The only boundary or rule for this project was to be honest. They would come together once a week to shares their dairy entries and develop them into lyrics. Kidu would compose simple songs around the lyrics. Kidu taught his sister to sing and master the melodica and sampler. They would then sit in their old domestic helper’s room and perform their music till the early hours of the morning; it made them both very happy.
Robyn is currently living in Cape Town and obtaining her masters in Fine art. Robyn still shares her diary entries with Kidu and will be joining Model C on a few ballads for the launch in Joburg.
Kidu is a freelance flash animator, illustrator and sound designer working in Joburg. He is currently working on a new album with his other project MtKidu and also performs in Doris with Rob Mclennan.
As well as playing bass for the infamous Shadow Club, Alex Hing is an honorary member of Model C who plays keys, sings vocals live and adds to the honesty of song writing and beat making.
Leighton Powell a new member of Model C and plays drums live.
They have all been hard at work practicing new songs for the second instalment of the model c project.
Model C have finished all the recordings and mastering for our first album "no more songs about girls”. They will be doing a launch performance with the full band in Joburg at Fuel Cafe on the 28 June for the legendary Lilo parties. A limited run of 200 albums will be released and on sale on the night designed by Jelena Jovanovic.
