The 23-year-old DJ from Msogwaba is influenced by the internationally renowned young DJ, Uncle Waffles, and hopes to have the same influence as she does.
“I ventured into music in 2023. I have played at events around my community and hope I will play at bigger events. My love of music drove me to becoming a DJ.

As a way to make an impact in the entertainment industry, she founded a dance group called House of Groovey in Msogwaba, which caters for youngsters and gives them a safe space to entertain themselves through various kinds of dances.
