The Man Behind The Sound
Themba Sonnyboy Sekowe — better known as DJ Maphorisa — is not just an artist. He is the architect of an entire genre. Born in Pretoira, he began his journey in his teens, finding the intersection of house, kwaito and electronic music that would eventually birth Amapiano.
Today, his productions have racked up over one billion streams, he headlines global festivals, and his sound plays in clubs from Johannesburg to Tokyo. A true pioneer — built in Africa, recognised by the world.
