Well, one can’t begrudge him the title of South African producer, having produced for some of th finest voices in the game in South Africa. Think Major league. Think Nasty C. Think AKA. Think DJ Speedsta. Think Cassper Nyovest… And no, he isn’t done with the world of producing.
Born on Benn Gilbert Kamoto on 4 June 1990, Gemini Major’s other adopted stage name is Rudebouy Major. He completed high school in 2017 and had his IT two years later. Convinced South Africa holds greater promise for his music career, he moved to the country in 2009. Thus began his life as an artiste and producer.
A chance encounter with Family Tree boss Cassper Nyovest during a video shoot set Gemini Major on the path into mainstream music and encounters with other important names in the industry.

It has been said that awards are the true indices of the impact someone has made in a particular field. This is not particularly true, as some artistes who have made significant impact in the genre have won nothing.
Anyway, we can’t point to the strings of awards Gemini major has won. But then we know that he had been nominated for the Producer of The year in the South African Hip Hop Awards. He was nominated in the same category the following year.
Well, awards or no, there’s no disputing he’s made great impact in South African music. And he is still on the beat, still good and worth every minute of a music lover’s listening time.

Age & Relationship
Gemini Major turned 30 in June this year. He has reportedly been involved with several ladies in the past. But by far his most visible relationship is that with Rowlene, a signee to Nasty C’s Tall Racks Records.
The two have been linked since 2018. In fact Rowlene went public about their relationship at some point, calling him “possessive,” for he barely gave her space to see other people.
