Brian and Andrew discovered their passion for music at age 6 when they got their first guitars. The two started “busking” around Cape Town and earned substantial funds from doing so, this lead to them recording their first single at age 8 titled “Amnesia”, at which point it became clear that music was not only a passion but a life long career.
From age 8 to 12, they were focused on a very rock influenced genre being that Brian played percussion and Andrew guitar. In 2001, the two moved to the States where they started to pick up a new taste of music, very influenced by Hip Hop.
They later moved back to Cape Town, South Africa where they started to focus solely on Hip Hop music and the flow of rap. In 2005 at age 15, they performed at the 2005 Hip Hop Indaba in which they were the youngest contenders. They received unbelievable response during the event and afterwards.
Andrew and Brian recall watching “The Showbiz Report” on eTV and seeing themselves featured on the program of which they had no prior knowledge. Due to this, they contacted the station and got themselves a second insert on the program whilst in the process of recording their first Hip Hop demo entitled “Making A Name For Us”. One track specifically, entitled “What If I Said”, gained such popularity and momentum amongst the youth of Cape Town that it attracted the attention of award winning and acclaimed South African producer, Gabi Le Roux. Soon after this, they teamed up with Gabi Le Roux and R&B soul singer, Given Phike where the group and concept of “III” was born.
Their debut performance happened in Stellenbosch at a Tropika Pageant event and caught the attention of Mxit General Manager, Paul Stemmet. Following this, they became the first group ever to release their debut album on Mxit Music which exploded beyond expectation selling in excess of 500,000 units nationally earning them double platinum status.
They have also taken part in music production with companies such as Kaleidosound Music Production, Contra-Banned and Mxit. The two, having gained such success, have embarked on a new musical journey through Locnville and ContraBanned.com, which promises to be the most innovative form of online music distribution to date.
Locnville brings a unique and uplifting message in their music which is beautifully complimented by smooth synths, heavy bass lines, upbeat and intricate percussion with lyrics sung in a smooth and melodic flow. Locnville has just released their debut album entitled “Sun In My Pocket”, the music video for the singles “Sun In My Pocket” & "6 Second Poison" are already in rotation on MTV, all SABC channels as well as 5fm, and the buzz surrounding Locnville is substantially increasing everyday.

Stars Above You
Locnville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were never meant to be but you and me can make it alright (alright)
Cause I especially love you when the stars are above you (stars above you)
Said I especially love you when the stars are above you...
When the stars are above you (x5)
I lay you down, down, down, down by the tabletop
And I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going anywhere (x3)
And even if the sun burns out and the stars fall down
I'll be standing there waiting for you.
And when the sky just can't get any higher,
I'll be laying there saying to you.
That I especially love you when the stars above you
I especially love you when the stars are above you (x2)
I especially love you...
When the stars are above you (x9)
Shooting stars let me know who you are (who you are)
Shooting stars let me know who you are (who you are)
Cause I feel like I know you feel like I know you
Shouldn't I shouldn't I?
Cause I feel like I know you feel like I know you
Shouldn't I shouldn't I?
Cause I especially love you when the stars are above you
I especially love you when the stars are above you (x2)
I especially love you... (you you you you you)
When the stars are above you (x9)
Starts above...
The song "Stars Above You" by Locnville is a love song that expresses the connections between love, nature, and the universe. The lyrics convey the idea that the love between the two individuals is strengthened by the presence of the stars above them.

The repeating lines "I especially love you when the stars are above you" further emphasizes the idea of how the stars above them enhance their love.
The second verse describes a scene where the singer lays their love down on a tabletop and declares that they are not going anywhere.

Hi TERE.
Would you consider yourself to be a good person?
How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God’s name in vain (very serious; in Old Testament times, the Jews wouldn’t even say the name of God for fear of blasphemy) – even ‘OMG’? One more: Jesus said whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart; have you ever looked with lust?
Well I’m not judging you – but if you’ve done these things then you’re a liar, thief, blasphemer and adulterer-at-heart; that’s how seriously God takes sin. He is Holy (perfectly good/righteous and separate from sin) which means that He is perfect in justice; that means that just like a just judge does sentence criminals to pay for the wrong they caused, do does God sentence the payment of all sins – and if He were to judge you by the moral law (we’ve already looked at 4 commandments) would you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is hell – the wrath of God upon you for your sin
And the just God will punish ALL sin. Is that concerning?
But fortunately, God’s will is not that you perish. He wants all men everywhere to be saved. So do you know what He did for us guilty sinners? In self-giving mercy, He sent His Son Jesus Christ. He lived the perfect life that we should have lived – tempted at all points and yet He NEVER sinned. Through His life, being in very nature God, He revealed God to men; but we in our hatred condemned Him to death. On that cross as Jesus suffered, He took on the sin of the world and was judged in our place; receiving God’s wrath. You and I broke God’s law, but Jesus paid the fine. God can justly forgive us.
On that cross He died, then He was buried, but 3 days later He was raised from the dead – conquering death and Hell and ushering in The Kingdom of God. He then ascended to the right hand of God the Father (where He came from) now Lord of the living and the dead. God has fixed a date when He will judge the world in righteousness. What you need to do is repent (In humility, acknowledge your sin before God and turn to a relationship with Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus Christ and His work on the cross; and God will grant you the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then be baptised. Jesus' perfect righteousness will be accredited to you and you can stand in a relationship with the God of the Universe, a Father. If you repent and believe the gospel.
ROMANS 10:9 – If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved
