In this episode, I sit down with celebrated musician, songwriter, and vocal coach RJ Benjamin — a powerful force in South African music. Known for his rich voice and infectious sound, RJ has also mentored some of the country’s biggest talents, shaping the industry in countless ways.Beyond the spotlight, RJ opens up about growing up Jewish in a diverse school environment and how working across different cultures has enriched both his life and his music. He speaks candidly about his battle with depression, experiences with childhood bullying, and the courage it took to marry outside his community.Today, one of his greatest joys is seeing his students thrive, knowing he played a role in shaping the next generation of talent.With honesty, vulnerability, and wisdom, RJ reminds us that music isn’t just a career — it’s a calling. One that heals, challenges, and transforms.#RelebogilePod Connect with us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576572680415
