Reality 7 is an all male Gospel vocal band that consist of six members who originate from Kwa-Zulu Natal in a village called Matikwe in Inanda, South Africa.
They are known for fusing contemporary South African gospel music with style made popular by the legendary Lady Smith Black Mambazo called Is’cathamiya.
The group was founded in 1992 with the aim of preaching the word of God through out the country. They started singing in small churches around Durban which gave them a platform to develop their craft into what is now known as the Reality 7 sound (singing in church has taught us to open our hearts to be vessels of Gods divine power) after many years spent perfecting their sound with many attempts to make a record they caught the attention of Jabulani Mthembu and Bongani Msimang who helped them record their debut album called Amen which because of its unique sound attracted a lot of air play in Ukhozi FM and many community radio stations in KZN
The first album(Amen) also got them traveling across the country singing in festivals and their own concerts sharing stages with:
Rebecca Malope
Hlengiwe Mhlaba
Joyous Celebration
Ncandweni Christ Ambassadors
Reality 7 won BEST GOSPEL ACCAPPELLA (SOLO/GROUP) Crown Gospel Awards 5th edition.
