John Ellis and Tree63 have written some of the catchiest, most heartfelt songs to come out of South Africa - and their message is one of faith, hope and personal spiritual connection. John is a gifted songwriter with a knack for melody and arrangement, and a brilliantly honest lyric writing style that has captured hearts and ears all over the world.

I loved this conversation about Tree63's message, their journey, and how John thinks about being a South African - and a South African in music.

We first connected over a fascinating piece he published, "10 South African Songs That Taught Me To Be South African". Check out his beautifully written and insightful blog here: https://johnelliswords.wordpress.com/2020/06/09/ten-south-african-songs-that-taught-me-to-be-south-african/
