That David Hasselhoff rates us as his favourite band
What advice would you like to give to other aspiring musicians?
Confidence. 'Its not about what you play its the look in your eye when you do it'. Be persistent and keep learning, keep learning about music and keep learning about the industry. Keep varying the music you listen to and the people you play with.

About Kolektiv
Liking what they heard, they began practicing regularly and slowly their style evolved from jazz standards to a more funky reggae/dub style.
There was only so much the band could do without a bassist, so they enlisted the help of uni mate Julian and Kolektiv was born. After a time, guitarist Gene joined the line-up making it what it is today.
