LIMPOPO – The Molepo-born Bogy BE is a dedicated house tech, afro house and deep house producer and remixer and is currently signed with internationally recognised and digital music seller, Sanelow.
The four tracks he has released so far to great reception from his fans are Sonorous Tones featuring Blac Tears, Floating wave featuring Tshepho Lekwatz, Demon’s Rhythm and Midnight Prayer also featuring Blac Tears.
His Musical journey started in 2009 during his first year bachelor of financial management studies at Unisa, which he unfortunately had to give up due to financial constraints. His passion continued as he completed his B.Ed senior phase with the University of Limpopo.
“I started my music journey as a speaker lifter and equipment cleaner for local DJ’s in my village. I knew within my being that music was something I wanted to do. I paid close attention what the DJ’s I helped did and I learned how to play music myself using a computer. I then began to play music with the best DJ I know, Charlie Khudu Mogoboya, and he showed me the ropes of the music industry. It was difficult at first to get opportunities at some local pubs to showcase my skills but some of them gave me a shot, opening the doors for me to make connections with other DJ’s and pub managers,” he shared with CV.
This year he released his debut four-track EP titled Darker to great reception.
“Music has always been a part of me. I remember playing ‘drums’ using milk tins and a ‘trumpet’ made from wires and a toothpaste tube when I was in primary school. My nephew would dance and sing along when I played popular songs, little did I know this was just a forerunner of my career today. I started off playing at gigs for free until I built my brand. I began producing music, and charging for performances, in 2014 and a year later I played at several big gigs, rubbing elbows with heavyweights in the music industry. Nowaday I am selling and promoting my music on digital platforms,” he said.
He added being a DJ and producer in the music industry is not easy as you have to make both work equally in order to succeed.
“For example, you get multiple gigs but you have to prepare for each of them differently as they do not have the same venues or crowds. All the while you might have several unfinished projects which also require your attention. It is a constant juggling act but I love every minute of it,” he said.
