EDMONTON, AB — International music producers and recording artists Marc and Zacary Melisizwe, founders of The Melisizwe Brothers, have officially announced the upcoming release of the newest commercial project from their specialized incubator platform. On Saturday, July 25th, 2026, Edmonton singer-songwriter Fatsani will drop her brand-new, 6-song EP—a powerful, genre-blending body of work written entirely by Fatsani and produced in collaboration with the brothers at TMB Gold Mind Studios.

To celebrate the official drop, a high-energy EP release show will kick off at 5:00 PM MDT, featuring a live headline performance by Fatsani, with a special opening set by her project collaborators, The Melisizwe Brothers. Tickets are strictly limited and available now via Eventbrite.

The Power of Collaboration, Family, and Shared Growth

What makes this project uniquely compelling to the modern music industry is the rich blend of academic discipline, technical expertise, and real-world execution behind it.

Marc and Zacary Melisizwe actively balance an international production schedule with their formal music education, both pursuing Bachelor of Arts degrees at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. Marc is currently in his third year of intensive Music Business studies and is preparing to transition into his Master’s program next year, while Zacary has just wrapped up his first year specializing in Music Production. Fatsani, currently a second-year student at the University of Alberta, brings a matching dedication and a sharp, articulate perspective to her original songwriting, making this her second standout project developed within the Gold Mind ecosystem.

For the brothers, collaborating with Fatsani to bring this 6-song tracklist to life has been an exceptional creative process built on a foundation of mutual respect and family support.

"It was incredibly fun working with Fatsani and seeing this vision come to life," say Marc and Zacary Melisizwe. "Our favorite part of this entire process has been seeing how supportive her parents are. Family involvement means everything to us. We know firsthand that without the unwavering support of our own family, we wouldn't have made it this far. To see that same foundation behind Fatsani makes this project deeply special."

Inside the Movement: The Gold Mind Philosophy

Established by The Melisizwe Brothers, the Gold Mind program is built on a foundational philosophy: every individual possesses an innate, unique brilliance—a "Gold Mind"—that represents their ultimate talent and highest potential. The program’s mission is to discover, nurture, and elevate that inner brilliance, providing emerging creators with the resources and global platform they need to thrive.

However, the brothers emphasize that the initiative extends far beyond artistic expression or basic studio production.

"For us, the Gold Mind projects are about showing the next generation how to turn creativity into a legitimate economic vehicle," says Marc Melisizwe. "It is about giving talented individuals the business literacy, technical tools, and infrastructure to build sustainable careers. We want our peers to understand how to leverage modern digital opportunities, protect their intellectual property, and turn their passion into long-term socioeconomic advancement."

The Gold Mind Advantage: Transforming Influence into Opportunity

Over the past several years, the brothers have utilized their platform to build Gold Mind into a premier technical incubator for independent artists ready to scale globally. For elite, high-potential talent looking for a powerful launchpad, the program offers a distinct, modern approach to building a music career:

• Berklee-Standard Execution: With Marc’s advanced business trajectory and Zacary’s specialized focus on modern music production at Berklee, the Melisizwe brothers provide emerging artists with deep insight into catalog development, streaming optimization, and cutting-edge sonic architecture.

• A Million-Strong Global Launchpad: Boasting a combined social media following of over 1 million fans, The Melisizwe Brothers are actively using their massive digital ecosystem to push Fatsani to an entirely new, global audience, bridging the gap between independent creation and worldwide visibility.

• A Strategic Approach to Modern Growth: This collaboration highlights the power of structured, continuous learning. Whether through institutional studies like Berklee and the University of Alberta, or through independent mentorship and digital literacy, the Gold Mind philosophy proves that combining creative talent with a sharp, business-oriented mindset is the ultimate tool for executing a sustainable artistic career today. It is about being inclusive of all paths to knowledge and being strategic about how you apply it.

"True influence is not measured by how many people look at you, but by how many people you can bring into the light with you. The Gold Mind is about turning visibility into a shared victory."

The Melisizwe Brothers Honour Garifuna Heritage with New Single "Yurumein"

@TMB Gold Mind Collective

Posted Mar 15, 2026 • 1 min read

The Melisizwe Brothers have returned to the airwaves with their latest single, "Yurumein," released March 13, 2026. The track features Marc and Zacary Melisizwe, marking a focused and intentional step forward in their musical journey. The brothers bring a refined perspective to their sound, centering Garifuna music in a production that fits seamlessly into today’s global music landscape.

A Journey Back to the Homeland

The title "Yurumein" holds deep historical weight—it is the traditional name for St. Vincent, the ancestral cradle of the Garifuna people. The history of the Garifuna—or Garinagu—is rooted in the island of St. Vincent, where West African arrivals integrated with the indigenous Kalinago and Arawak populations. Together, they forged a unique, resilient society that successfully resisted colonial conquest for generations.

Following intense conflict with British colonial forces, the Garifuna were eventually forced into exile from St. Vincent in the late 18th century, leading to their migration and subsequent settlement along the coast of Central America, including Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. By naming their latest single "Yurumein," Marc and Zacary are making a poignant, artistic return to the origin point of this powerful history of resilience and cultural endurance.

A Dedication to the Language

The single features Marc and Zacary singing in the Garifuna language, a move that highlights their commitment to cultural preservation. This vocal performance is informed by their ongoing journey to reconnect with their roots, which included participating in language sessions with Dr. Gwen Nuñez.

This linguistic foundation was further enriched by their travels to Belize, specifically the cultural capital of Dangriga. Experiencing the rhythm and dialect of the Garifuna people on the ground allowed the brothers to infuse the record with a layer of sincerity and respect for their ancestral tongue.

Refined Sound and Synergy

Marc and Zacary display a sophisticated vocal presence, characterized by the tight, intuitive harmonies that have become their hallmark. By weaving traditional Garifuna elements into a modern framework, the song relies on its steady rhythm and the natural chemistry between the two brothers to drive the narrative home.

The production strikes a balance between atmospheric textures and a rhythmic foundation that feels both grounded and expansive. As they transition into this next stage of their careers, the anthem feels deeply personal to their story, yet accessible enough to find a home on any global music playlist this season.

Expanding the Global Sound

The momentum for The Melisizwe Brothers is only just beginning. Following the release of "Yurumein," Marc and Zacary are already setting their sights on their next international project. Set for release in April, the duo is teaming up with Brazilian artist Neto Junqueira for a highly anticipated collaboration. This upcoming partnership promises to fuse their signature harmonies with the vibrant energy of Brazilian music, further expanding their reach as they continue to bridge cultures through their artistry.

Available Everywhere

"Yurumein" is now available for streaming on all major music platforms. Whether you're a long-time follower of their journey or discovering their sound for the first time, this single is a powerful addition to your rotation.

In a powerful demonstration of community, culture, and compassion, the Edmonton Reggae Festival Society and The Melisizwe Brothers have united to release “Brighter Days,” an inspiring new single dedicated to families affected by Hurricane Melissa. The song will be released on December 15th, symbolizing solidarity between Alberta and Caribbean communities—especially those in Jamaica, where the storm’s impact has been deeply felt.

Produced at TMB Gold Mind Studios in Leduc, Alberta, “Brighter Days” is creatively led by Zacary Melisizwe, the SOCAN Young Canadian Songwriter of the Year. The track blends soulful vocals with Caribbean-inspired rhythms and uplifting songwriting, offering comfort to families across Jamaica and neighbouring islands as they rebuild after the hurricane’s severe damage.

The single features a lineup of artists united for the cause: Delroy Parr, Daddy-H, Marc Melisizwe, and Zacary Melisizwe (The Melisizwe Bros)—each contributing their unique sound and artistry to strengthen the message of hope and resilience.

Hurricane Melissa affected multiple regions throughout the Caribbean, including several Jamaican communities that now face long-term recovery needs. The collaboration aims to highlight these realities while amplifying support and awareness through music.

The project also acknowledges Jamaica’s central influence on global reggae culture. As the birthplace of reggae, Jamaica’s musical legacy helped shape the spirit of “Brighter Days,” reinforcing the importance of unity, resilience, and cultural connection.

Support for the release is widespread across Edmonton’s Jamaican and wider Caribbean communities, who remain active in cultural preservation and relief efforts. The partnership between the Edmonton Reggae Festival Society and The Melisizwe Brothers strengthens ties between Edmonton and the Caribbean diaspora, honouring the roots and traditions that inspire the music.
