When we talk about music events, we usually see what happens on stage, but there’s a whole team behind the scenes making those moments happen.

Koketso Muller is one of those people. He’s a project manager and finance professional, but he’s also deeply passionate about music, culture and creating experiences that bring people together.

He’s part of the team behind Trevtober — a music and culture experience celebrating the life, influence and legacy of Trev the Japanese.

And for Koketso, this isn’t just about putting on an event. It’s about keeping that legacy alive, celebrating what Trev meant to people, and creating a space where even a new generation can connect with his story.

Koketso joins us now to tell us more about Trevtober and the legacy they’re building around it.
