Nkosinathi "Jay Sax" Nkosi was born and bred in Soshanguve North of Pretoria. The music bug bit him when he was 12, as he was exposed to a brass band that passed by his house and he followed the band. He was particularly interested in the Saxophone and enjoyed Kenny G’s music he then made a promise to himself that he would own a saxophone one day.
As a self-taught musician he never looked back on his music career and he has been involved in different bands/artists such as Mmatema Moremi, Regalo Joints, 60 Hertz Projects, Sinky Mathe and Afrikan Roots, DJ Fortee, Playmaster, Metro FM Award Winner Nastee Nev, just to name a few. He is currently a member of The South African State Theatre Youth Choir and is also involved in many other projects.

Total plays for Jay Sax
The total plays count is calculated based on all the tracks listed in the "Most popular tracks" section. Spotify does not provide this data, and it is quite tricky to compute in some cases. You should consider this as an estimation, more than an exact value. The data is not real time, but we try to update it as often as possible.
