DJ LUNGSTA, THE NUMBER ONE KASI REPRESENTER




By Valencia Legodi
Johannesburg born and raised Tshepo Lunga Madihlaba also known as dj lungsta da mixsation (9th September 1990) is the next young artist to take the industry by storm. The radio dj and presenter kick started his dejaying career in 2013 at a friend’s place where he learned the basics of mixing.
With the likes of dj fresh as his inspiration he decided to pursue a career in radio and in 2014 he was told that there was a recently opened community radio station in diepsloot that was looking for volunteers. He applied at the radio station and was later hired as a journalist; he trained at 702 stations and eye witness news.
He gradually learned the systems and techniques of being a radio presenter and combined them with the experience he had acquired over the past years “I had a background of being a school president ,a debater and a life coach at love life, I learnt communication skills and public speaking. I wanted to be a great example in the community and show people in small communities that you can make it regardless of your background” he said.
DJ Lungsta’s first achievement was getting to create content for his show and that of the other presenters, he enjoyed teaching new candidates about radio and how to be original while entertaining the audience. His other achievements include events planning, granting upcoming artists with an opportunity to establish their work on radio and growing Sloot FM’s listenership.
“my drive comes from seeing my community and its young people become great testaments of success and that Africa as a continent has more to offer than what is portrayed to us” he said. The challenges he faced when he started on radio was to connect with people he did not see and having to learn how to paint a picture for the listeners, his other challenge was to create content that people will relate to.
He is currently employed as a debt adviser full time where he helps debtors to be able to recover their debts and maintain their credit scores with more knowledge and approach in terms of financial literacy. He still aims to become the best presenter across the globe and to make his dreams a reality.
The advice he has for upcoming presenters and Djs is to never forget who they are and the reason they pursued this career path in the first place “you are the best when you are yourself, learn everything you need to know about the industry, its ups and downs and how to handle the pressure of being a media personality. Your life and purpose relies on what you do to make your dream a reality” Dj Lungsta said.
