Born into a family of ardent jazz enthusiasts, it is fitting to say Thuli's jazz fate was sealed from birth. A huge respect for the artform, Thuli's jazz presentations are for an open mind, a mind that has to be ready to take in the varied and rich sounds that jazz present. She appreciates the history behind each composition, how the music is put together, and the stories that the music relates. Thuli is a person who understands that jazz, as much as it evolves and moves forward, there is always a strong reference to it's origins
