Jinja Safari is two equal halves: harmonizing frontmen & multi-instrumentalists Marcus Azon and Pepa Knight. Marcus grew up in Tasmania, the son of a preacher-man. The son of an artist, Pepa hails from the central coast of New South Wales.

In early 2010, the rhythm of their two personalities were revealed, intertwined and born from a debut meeting over a beach campfire beside the semi-tropical jungle of Australia’s eastern coastline. Sharing the same adventurous instincts, their imaginations soared over the Indian Ocean to settle in the East-African township of Jinja.

The first live show for Jinja Safari was held on May 1st 2010 in a secret coastal forest for family & friends.

Debut EP for Jinja Safari is scheduled for release in early September 2010.
