Speaking on the lessons that they have learnt over the years, J Something says perseverance really pays off. "I think that in times like these, when you look at a band like Mi Casa ten years later, only now do we feel like we are achieving some of our most important goals.

Today, for me, the lesson has really been that there is a real reward in patiently pursuing what you love." The group says the release of their fifth album has now been moved to July. Listen to the full interview here.

The band consists of three members, Dr. Duda (producer) and pianist, J'Something (vocalist and guitarist), and Mo-T (trumpeter). The band was formed in early 2011 in Johannesburg when all three future members were at a night lounge and decided to perform together. A few months later, they released an album titled Micasa Music, which "went gold" quickly and won several awards at the 18th Annual MTN South Africa Music Awards in 2012.

In 2015 they returned with their double-disc album Home Sweet Home which includes hit singles Chocolate Barman featuring Big Nuz and DJ Tira. In August 2017 they released their fourth studio album Familia after nearly disbanding four months earlier.
