Luthando TJ Mthembu

Before I start I would love to apologize for not blogging last week, but it being the Easter weekend I got caught up between my promotion job and being at church the rest of the time.

This week’s blog is about Luthando Mthembu, better known as TJ, a very talented young man that is 22 years of age. TJ was born and raised in Durban, well TJ is not only just a dancer. He also Raps, Sings, does Photography and models  mainly he deals with media.

TJ starting rapping since 2005 and hasn’t stopped since. He loves rapping and in my opinion is good at it. Being the good rapper that he was he didn’t get noticed by rapping. He was and still is known in Durban as 1 of the good Krumpers that Durban has to offer. He got inspired to start dancing from the movie ‘You Got Served’ and since then he has been in love with dancing. TJ doesn’t just Krump  he is a dancer in all aspects he also break danced at some point in his life.

TJ started  dance crews which did
well but because loyalty is very rare
 with young dancers some of those
crews fell through, but that didn’t
stop him from his love of dance.
His experience with all these different
 dancers has taught him a lot about the
 world of dancing.

TJ doesn’t just want dancing to be all he does in life (don’t  get me wrong, he loves it and has a great passion for it) which is why he got into modelling and photography. I guess you can say that he is a jack of all trades. He is a part of a dance company called Break Thru Dance Company BTDC in Durban, he is a dancer there uplifting the youth in dance and making the people around him understand more on Krumping. I have a feeling everyone will be seeing more on TJ as he has quite a bright future.
