In a soulful exploration that puts a new meaning to love, rising musician Gee Prime, has released his new single entitled “Promises.” An ode to the universal journey of striving for improvement in the name of love, the inspiration behind the track stems from the initial promises made at the dawn of a relationship, and the sincere efforts made to uphold them. Collaborating with one of the finest producers Vanni.FLP, whose TikTok beat resonated deeply, the artists’ creative synergy lead to the creation of the harmonious masterpiece that is ‘Promises’
“My sound is a distinctive take on a genre known as Private School Piano, which stands at the crossroads of lounge music and the rich cultural tapestry of Amapiano. It’s characterized by its easy listening nature, akin to lounge music, providing listeners with an auditory escape, a sensation of being transported elsewhere” says Gee Prime.

Before the unveiling of “Promises,” Gee Prime – real name Gontse Chauke – enriched his discography with a variety of singles, each a unique exploration. From the debut solo “A re Deitane” to the heart-warming project “Tsa Ko Spain,” where a Spanish guitar meets Amapiano, and the reflective “A Matter of Time” inspired by deep house music, each piece is a testament to the artist’s willingness to experiment and continuously evolve.
“The project ‘Tsa Ko Spain’ was particularly exhilarating as it pushed me to immerse myself in the Spanish language and culture, truly a testament to music’s boundless nature. Continuing my explorative journey, ‘A Matter of Time’ was released, a single that nods to my deep appreciation for deep house music. Each of these singles not only marks a step in my artistic journey but also showcases my willingness to experiment and evolve within the vast landscape of music”
