Multi-Grammy-award-winning musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and keyboardist in Maroon 5, PJ Morton, announces the Africa leg of his Cape Town To Cairo Tour which will see him live in South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya. With three back-to-back dates in South Africa across three cities, PJ Morton’s return to the country follows his sold-out concerts last October whilst he was recording his album now known as Cape Town To Cairo.

PJ Morton says: “I wanted to capture the emotions I felt while I was on the continent, so I made a promise that I wouldn’t write anything before I arrived in Africa, and I wouldn’t write anything after I left – I ended up recording all my vocals before I left too. It really was an experiment in trusting my instincts. I have the ability to overthink as many of us do, so I wanted to spark something that had real stakes. What ended up happening was that all of my raw thoughts and influences came out all at once. There’s of course R&B and soul, but there’s also gospel in songs like ‘Simunye,’ pop in ‘Count On Me,’ jazz on ‘All The Dreamers,’ all combined with the inspiration of Africa. We didn’t have the luxury of time to police which genres would fit where, and the origins of all this music started in Africa anyway. Cape Town to Cairo is the diaspora in music form, done my way.”
