About Orangotang Music
Orangotang Music is a music production company offering the highest level of creativity, production and service. Andrew Baird and Colin Vincent teamed up to launch the company in Johannesburg in June 2009.
Quick Story
Since they got this monkey business off the ground, they’ve been privileged to engage with all manner of musical and audio works – composition for commercials and promo’s; movies and documentaries; charting songs, short films, signature tunes and mnemonics. We’ve also been honoured to work with many awesome SA artists, including Mango Groove, Kabelo, Blackbyrd, Elvis Blue, Connell Cruise and Lloyd Cele to name a few.
Awards and Accolades
Along our journey, we’ve been delighted to be endowed with multiple awards and accolades – winning competitions, many songs in the charts including 3 No. 1’s, a SAFTA award for ‘Best Composition for a Feature Film’, a couple of Gold Promax awards, a Metro FM Award, along with various SAMA and WAWELA nominations.

Our Facilities
Orangotang’s main production centre is at the awesome ‘Elgin Road Studios’ in Bryanston, Joburg – where Andrew is the guru behind the magic – an accomplished pianist and composer, renowned in South Africa as one of the top producers in the country. Colin, guitarist and songwriter, is based in Cape Town where he works from a simple project studio in the Southern Suburbs, focusing his energy on composition, and keeping the Orangotang cogs turning.
