INTRODUCTION
Jeisie Bassie,s love of music had started at an early age and this passion grew when he was living in Johannesburg. Although Jeisie Bassie was hailed from star studded community in New Brighton which produced the likes of Imani Ifani. He was motivated to sing as well write his own songs. Although there was no professional guidance, the self-made singer/songwriter produced up to 30 songs in his career. So as a budding musician, he ensured that his music will be heard in almost all his networks in Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth as well as social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube. Although most of the songs are based on human experiences and life lessons. All the music is addressing the social ills of our society and lower standards of community upbringing.
This might be one of the reasons that Jeisie Bassie music career had come to a grinding halt. But he made a brilliant move by archiving such wealth so that at an appointed time it will be resurrected. And made the decision to look for professionals to assist in developing his career in music.

Although there were difficulties on compiling his work, he managed to make a significant progress and staged some live shows in Johannesburg at Baseline and New Brighton at Mendi Arts centre.
