bioJonathan "Tujay Harmoniquez" Groenewald is a 1983 born lyricist who was raised on the platinum streets of Rustenburg where he has legendary status as a pioneer of the area's intellectual hip-hop. He was one of the ingenious members of the group P.O.T (power of the Taurus) that laid down the paving for the hip hop hopefuls who were to follow in their footsteps. Leading by example, P.O.T pushed the limits of substance-filled hip hop while still getting respect from the commercial crowds and insane amounts of air-play on radio Mafisa, a local Rustenburg radio station. In a nutshell, Jay is an artist immensely skilled in lyricism that promotes the truth, he brings in levels of maturity and growth hardly ever witnessed. Tujay Harmoniquez has a recognizable voice with identifiable style, being one up on his competition so it's very hard to miss him in a track. Besides being an avid hip-hop head, he's also an activist for muscular dystrophy (a syndrome he is living with) and a promoter for youth development especially in colored communities which he feels particularly strong about.
Upon stretching the boundaries of hip hop in Rustenburg, Jay moved to Pretoria in search of more flexible and wider boundaries. Jay took the time to familiarize himself with the environment before launching his onslaught on the industry in the form of "16 Bar Wire", his independent LP. And from that LP he grew as an artist and was able to form an entertainment/music company (4site) and now runs in the same circles as Pretoria's finest having become a familiar face. He is currently working on the growth of 4site and his official debut release R18VSNL (Visual Sentences 'n Lyrics) which is targeted at the hip hop community but will not be easy for those outside the genre to ignore. Each track will set a different scene, it will be consciously driven but still serves as a powerful listen.
Jay's accolades include:
• Beathoven State Theatre performance,
• Hype magazine article April/May 2008 issue,
• Bassline(heads against violence),
• Rap activity Jam (Y-Fm, 2006),
• 2# radio hits (Radio Mafisa),
• Top Stereo interview
