Musician and record producer JR Bogopa’s highly acclaimed Feel Good Live Sessions is making its debut on SABC1 with 10 brand-new episodes set to captivate audiences. After gaining popularity on YouTube, the music series is now expanding its reach, bringing intimate performances by both established and emerging South African artists to the channel.
The show has always been a platform where artists can showcase their raw, authentic performances. According to JR, the vision for Feel Good Live Sessions is to offer musicians a space to express themselves in the most genuine and unapologetic way. “This platform allows artists to be vulnerable, authentic, and true to their artistry,” JR explained. “It’s about connecting with the audience on a deeper level and offering a rare, behind-the-scenes look at their creative process.”
As the series enters its fourth season, JR reflects on how the show has evolved. “We’ve reassessed our purpose, and if this platform is about fostering meaningful connections between artists and their fans, then every step we take must reflect that mission.” He continued, “December is a special time in South Africa, when families reunite to celebrate the holidays, and it feels right to bring Feel Good Live Sessions to SABC1, a channel that has created so many cherished memories for generations of viewers.”
The series will premiere on Friday, 22 November 2024, at 18:00, with its first episode featuring the talented Babili Amos Shili, known professionally as Aymos.
