LOY GURA
Bio
Loy Gura is a Singer-Songwriter based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Raised in the church, all the way from Sunday School to the Gospel Pilots church youth choir, "Shield of Faith", he gained an appreciation and understanding for music that would later influence the songs he writes and the sound he now creates. Loy has worked with Sculptured Music, DJ Clift Thomas, Neo Kolektive, DJ Mfundisi SA, and rapper O.F.E. His collaboration with Sculptured Music “Gratitude” was featured in DJ Terrance’s Music box Volume 7. Another collaboration with Sculptured Music, a track called “Jealous”, was featured in House Africa Sessions 2. Since the start of 2016, he has been working with the legendary Dave Abbott of the Abbott and Crabb band (http://www.abbottandcrabb.co.za/), and the partnership has been the most fulfilling experience, musically, and having found a friend and mentor in Dave!
Loy's release, 'LOYALSOUL', released on June 7th, 2019, is a collection of smooth sounds threaded together by soulfulness and storytelling.
Loy expresses his inner conflicts and joys through his music. He knows very clearly that sharing his music is about setting himself free while at the same time doing the same for others.
