DJ Stokie takes amapiano international
JOBURG – DJ Stokie creates a frenzy with Ama International.
Amapiano has taken over the streets of Mzansi with DJ Stokie, a DJ and producer in his own league. Coming off the widespread success of his Bamba La hit featuring Leehleza and co-produced with Kabza de Small, Stokie has been cooking up a storm in studio with Lebo and Killa Kau.
Ama International showcases his distinct signature sound and is slowly becoming one of his biggest hits from his forthcoming album. The Soweto native is a mastermind of deep, feel-good and soulful mixes that get the crowd moving from the moment he starts his set until the last song.
DJ Stokie, real name Setoki Mbatha, started his career in the 90s from his room in Mzimhlophe. The self-taught music maestro is inspired by the likes of Soweto’s top DJs namely Mpopo, Fetsi, Ma-Leven, Mahlomola and Mdoo. His success traces back to 2006 when he became a finalist of the Mad Half Hour, a feature on Joburg’s popular youth station, YFM. The station’s listeners were inspired by his piano fingers and Stokie found himself gigging in townships across Johannesburg.
Today, he plays alongside some of SA’s music legends DJ Christos, Vinni da Vinci, Ralf Gum and DJ China. Ama International puts Amapiano on the map with DJ Stokie as its maestro.
