Moses Taiwa Molelekwa (1973–2001) was a visionary South African jazz pianist, composer, and producer. Born in the vibrant township of Tembisa, he grew up in a deeply musical home, eventually studying at the Federal Union of Black Arts.
By his late teens, his immense talent caught the attention of jazz icon Hugh Masekela, who recruited him for global tours. As a solo artist, Molelekwa revolutionized post-apartheid South African music by blending indigenous township rhythms with modern electronic fusion and classical arrangements.
His landmark debut album, "Finding One's Self," earned massive international acclaim.
Beyond his solo brilliance, he was a highly sought-after studio producer, notably shaping projects for Sibongile Khumalo and collaborating with kwaito giants TKZee.
Following the tragedy where he was found dead in his home on February 13, 2001, his catalog was preserved by major international music distributors.
