JV uses music to protest
environmental issues to bring awareness to a global
audience.
The illegal hunting of Cecil the
Lion in Zimbabwe. The sale of 25 elephant calves
from Zimbabwe to China. The poisoning of a herd of
50 elephant in Hwange Game Reserves are all issues
covered in his music.
All the songs are backed with
footage and a DVD is produced. These are displayed
on YouTube. JV hopes that big name artists will pick
up on the songs and rerecord them.
JV's first album called "In the
Jaws of the Tiger" includes Shingalana in my Tent,
Shine a light, Tigress Julie, and others (22 songs
on the album).
JV's second album which is in
production is called "Defining Moments" and includes
Death of Cecil- Karma's a bitch, Rolling Thunder,
Respect, Eagle in the Sky, Goddess Gaia, Mugabe
don't own the Sunrise and Tell me my Father
