Biography Watkin Tudor

Despite the fact that the world fame to Jones came not so long ago, he was already a “shot sparrow” in show business and in his life made quite a few projects in a wide variety of areas of the musical industry. Here are the main milestones of his biography. He began to read rap and declare himself in any affordable ways from a young age. I must say that the performance of rap in South Africa has always been considered an indisputable prerogative of blacks, and the white guy, who took up this matter, caused fair bewilderment among others.

To perform in the cheap nightclubs of poor African quarters, in principle, is unsafe and uncertain, but the ninja never looked for easy ways and its obsession and determination causes respect. Already at the age of 19, he gathered his first group The Original Evergreens and even achieved some popularity among visitors to the nightclubs of Johanesburg. The group worked in a difficult to condemn the style, the guys boldly interfered with pop pops, punk, rock, rap and even reggae, and critics with a smart look dubbed this trash, like “fanbo-hat jazz hip-hop”.

Their only album “Puff The Magik” was released in the year under the Sony Music label and even received a reward in the “Best rap album” for the South African Music Awards in the year. The title track of the Puff The Magik album was prohibited at all African radio stations due to the text that promotes the use of marijuana. Starting every new project, Watkin Tudor Jones completely plunged into him.

Up to the point that he changed his own name and appearance. Jones made each project individual. So, when he felt a weakening of the public interest in the Max Normal project, he held Rebranding - the group became called Max Normal. It was for this role that Yo-Landi Fisser was invited to manage the presentation. In, when they had a daughter Sistin Jones with Yo-Landi, young parents who need money opened a home-made home line of soft toys.

Like all previous projects, these were not banal children's plush toys. Each character had its own story and its own unique qualities and abilities. So the giraffe could drive the people who are nearby, the rabbit could do an unforgettable massage, and the strange animal Bokkie felt the rhythm of beating the heart of the earth and could give out a musical bit in this rhythm.

Buying one of the characters, the child did not just get a toy ... He touched the amazing, fabulous world invented by Jones. Their relationship with Yo-Landi has never been officially registered, nevertheless, their attitude to the common daughter is admirable. Such loving parents are not often found in the modern world, and among musicians this is generally an exceptional case.

It is enough to look at their joint photographs, in which pride in her daughter and care for her obviously visible, as all questions fall away by themselves. In the year, the Light saw the project The Constructus Corporation, which was a miracle of design and marketing and was based on Johns of fantasy stories about two children who were lost in the Ziggurat supermarket and fell into a fantastic world of parallel reality.

The book abounded in bright illustrations and had two compact disks as an application, one of which recorded an audio version of history, read by Jones in the style of a theatrical production. The second disk was empty, but the instruction was attached to it - the quest, having passed which could be freely downloaded by the second musical album of the group and other stories. Formed in Die Antwoord is rightfully considered the most successful Jones project.

A lot of questions was also raised by the South African artist and musician Leon Bota, who starred in the video, a sick Prigeria. In order not to rack his head with the definition of the group’s musical style, Jones came up with his own for Die Antwoord - “ZEF”, based on a combination of incompatible poverty and gold, wretchedness and permissiveness .... Watkin Tudor Jones uses a rather original method that allows you to hide his private life from the general public.

He does not confirm reliable facts about himself, and does not deny clear fiction. Each time in an interview, he voices a new version of his life and he does not care about the inconsistencies discovered by the press. Next time they will hear another option. His whole life is one continuous stem. Jones does not drink alcohol and, like Yo-Landi, is a vegetarian, but his whole appearance speaks the opposite.

His tattoos make fun of the idea of ​​decorating the body with drawings. All the images of Jones in each video of the group are saturated with self -irony with the highest degree of its manifestation, and are caricatures on themselves. In the year, the ninja and Yo-Landi adopted a nine-year-old boy Tokka from the poor family of his neighbors, a patient with ectodermic dysplasia, which violates the growth of bones, hair, nails and teeth.

This saved Tokki from vagrancy, and the guy even lit up in several Die Antwoord clips. In the ninja and Yo-Landi, they starred in the film of the Nile Blomkamp "A robot named Chappi", where they played, under their usual stage names.The film was released in Russian screens in the year and caused a new wave of popularity of Die Antwoord among Russian youth. One thing is clear, this person will surprise us more than once!
