In memory of her late daughter, Dj Sphera want release an EP to honour her.
Real name Sphesihle Mkhize from Kranskop in KwaZulu Natal (KZN), Dj Sphera was raised by his grandmother in the villages of Kranskop.
“Growing in the villages taught me alot of things and I am grateful that I spent most of my young years with my grandmother who made sure that I respect people no matter the age. She taught me manners on how to speak to people which are the values that I’m using till this day,” he said.
Sphera is now new in the music industry as his first break was in 2016 when he first released his single titled “Hamba Kini”. A follow up single called “Izintombi Zo-Dj” which was released in 2017 took his name yo greater height as many people in his hometown began noticing his talent.
” I won’t say it was easy but this when I realized that music can take me to places that I have never thought I will be. This is when I started getting offers of being a resident Dj in places like KwaManana, Freedom Center and Mzi Lounge. I made the most of it because while I was playing I taught myself to be an event organizer.
“I have also served as a resident Dj and radio personality at Ukhahlambha FM, Emzini Lounge and Laronda Pub. I have now moved up the ladder as now I’m working in Durban where I’m a resident Dj at Kokos Bar and Grill, Cotton Pub and The Joint,” he said.
Sphera said he is already in studio and his plans on his upcoming projects is to work with Producer Thukuthela, Shimza, Mawhoo and Dj Mpiloz.
Sphera has a hit single out titled I’m Away where she features Zama Ziie.
“Three Step music is the game changer and Afro Tech House music. This is the future and that type of music will you straight to the biggest stages on earth. Once we finalized everything in terms of paperwork we shall do features and my next stop is Gauteng before moving abroad. Zama Zie is one of the talented musicians from Escourt and working with her was mind blowing.
“I’m a Christian and I believe that everything happens for a reason. Music heals my soul especially that every time I’m playing I think a lot about my daughter who passed away last year June. I haven’t healed yet and sometimes I so wish that someone can wake me up and tell it is just a dream. At the same time I have taught myself that acceptance is the way,” he said.
