In 1988 Hugh Masekela asked him to join his bands and this period saw Molelekwa winning the first of several awards.

1994

His solo career began in 1994 with the debut album Finding Oneself.

1996

By 1996 he had gained widespread attention as a solo artist, winning two FNB South Africa Music Awards for traditional jazz, and was heralded as the successor for the great Marabi piano tradition, following in the footsteps of the prolific Abdullah Ibrahim.

He also played outside South African tradition or society.

He played at the North Sea Jazz Festival and worked with Brazilian singer Flora Purim on his second album.

He also did work beyond jazz as a producer for the Kwaito group TKZee.

Molelekwa named Herbie Hancock, Bheki Mseleku, and Abdullah Ibrahim as major influences on his music.
